electric shock, personal injury and the danger
of fire.
Read and take note of these operating instruc-
tions and the safety advice contained therein

for future reference.
Non-observance of the following instructions
could cause an electric shock, fire and / or
serious personal injury.

Workplace safety

L
J
Keep your working area clean and tidy. Disorderly
and dark working areas can lead to accidents.
J
Do not work with the appliance in areas subject
to the danger of explosions, in which flammable
liquids, gases or dusts are located. Electrical
tools produce sparks which could ignite the
dust or the vapours.
J
Keep children and other third parties
at a distance when using electrical
tools.
If distracted, you could lose the control over the
appliance.

Electrical safety

L
Avoid mortal danger through
electric shock:
J
The power plug of the appliance must fit cor-
rectly into the wall socket. The plug may not be
altered in any way. DO NOT use adapter plugs
together with earthing-protected appliances.
Non-modified plugs and appropriate wall sockets
reduce the risk of electric shock.
J
Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces,
such as pipes, heating elements, cookers and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed.
J
Protect the appliance from rain and
moisture.
The permeation of water into an electrical appli-
ance increases the risk of an electric shock.
J
Do not misuse the power cable, e.g. to carry the
appliance, to hang it up or for pulling the plug
General Safety Notices
from the wall socket. Keep the cable away from
heat, oil, sharp edges and moving appliance
components. Damaged or tangled power cables
or plugs increase the risk of an electric shock.
J
Damaged appliances, power cables
and power plugs mean mortal danger
from electric shock.
Regularly check the condition of the appliance,
power cable, power plug, if need be the charger
and the battery pack.
J
Regularly check the connection cables of electrical
appliances and, in the event of damage being
discovered, arrange for them to be repaired or
renewed by a recognised specialist.
J
When working outdoors, use only extension
cables which are certified for use outdoors. The
use of an extension cable suitable for employ-
ment outdoors reduces the risk of receiving an
electrical shock.
J
Do not take appliances into use that have
damaged components. In a case of emergency,
immediately disconnect the power supply.
J Warning! - NEVER open the appliance.
Arrange for repair or component exchange work
to be carried out only by the Service Centre or
qualified electricians.

Safety of personnel

L
J
Always be alert and be aware of what you are
doing. Use lots of common sense when working
with electrical appliances. DO NOT use such
appliances when you are unconcentrated or
tired, or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medications. Simply a few moments of inat-
tention in the use of an electrical appliance can
lead to serious personal injuries.
J
Wear personal protective clothing and,
always, protective glasses. The wearing
of personal protective clothing such as
dust masks, antislip safety shoes, protective
gloves, hard helmet and hearing protection can,
depending on the use of the electrical appliance,
reduce the risk of injuries.
J
Avoid unintentional starting of the appliance.
Ensure that the switch is in the "OFF" position
before inserting the plug into a wall socket. If
