General safety information for power tools
The term „power tool" used in the safety informati-
on and instructions refers to power tools operated
from the mains power supply (with a power cable)
and to battery operated power tools (without a
power cable).
1. Workplace safety
a) Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Untidy or unlit work areas can result in acci-
dents.

b) Do not use this power tool in an area
where there is a risk of explosion and
where there are infl ammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools generate sparks
that can ignite dust or vapors.
c) Keep children and other people away
from the power tool while you are using
it. If you are distracted you may lose control
of the power tool.
2. Electrical safety
a) The plug on the power tool must fi t into
the socket. The socket must not be modi-
fi ed in any way. Do not use adapter plugs
together with power tools with a protecti-
ve earth. Unmodifi ed plugs and matching so-
ckets will reduce the risk of an electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces
such as pipes, heating systems, stoves
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of suff ering an electric shock if your body is
earthed.
c) Keep the power tool out of the rain and
away from moisture. The ingress of water
into an electric power tool increases the risk
of an electric shock.
d) Do not use the power cable for a purpose
for which it is not designed, for example
to carry the power tool, hang it up or to
pull the plug out of the socket. Keep the
power cable away from heat, oil, sharp
edges and moving parts. Power cables that
are damaged or tangled increase the risk of
an electric shock.

e) If you use an electric power tool out-
doors, use only extension cables that are
suitable for outdoor use. The use of an
extension cable which is suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of an electric shock.
f) If you cannot avoid using the power tool
in a damp location, use a residual current
device (RCD) circuit breaker. The use of a
residual current device (RCD) circuit breaker
will reduce the risk of suff ering an electric
shock.
3. Safety of persons
a) Be careful, watch what you are doing and
be sensible and responsible when using
an electric power tool. Never use the po-
wer tool if you are tired or under the infl u-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. One
moment of inattention when using the electric
tool can result in serious injuries.
b) Wear personal safety equipment and
