While working
If the power cord is
damaged, immedi-
ately disconnect
the plug from the
wall outlet to avoid
the risk of electric
shock.
Avoid damage to the power
supply cord. Do not drive over
it, pinch or tug it.
Never jerk the connecting
cord to disconnect it from the
wall outlet. To unplug, grasp
the plug, not the cord.
The power cord and power
plug must never be touched
with wet hands.
Never spray water on the unit
– risk of short circuit!
The drive motor is
not waterproof. To
reduce the risk of a
short circuit or
electrocution,
never work with
the power tool in
the rain or in wet or
very damp
locations.
Do not leave the power tool
outdoors in the rain.
In case of imminent danger or
in an emergency, switch off
the motor immediately –
release the trigger switch and
starting lockout.
Your power tool is designed to
be operated by one person
only. Do not allow other
persons in the work area.
15m (50ft)
There is a risk of accident
from ejected objects within a
wide area around the working
space, so you must ensure
that there is no-one within a
15 m radius of the machine.
This distance must also be
maintained in relation to
objects (vehicles, window
panes) – risk of property
damage! Even at distances
beyond 15 m, the danger
cannot be ruled out.
