General safety instructions for electric tools

Read all safety regulations and instructions. Any errors made in following the safety regulations and instructions may result in an electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep all safety regulations and instructions in a safe place for future use.
The term "electric tool" used in the safety instructions refers to electric tools operated from the mains power supply (with a power cable) and to battery operated electric tools (without a power cable).

1. Workplace safety
   1. Keep your work area clean and well illu-minated. Untidy or unlit work areas can result in accidents.
   2. Do not operate the electric tool in an en-vironment where there is a risk of explosions and where there are infl ammable liquids, gases or dust. Electric tools produce sparks which could set the dust or vapours alight.
   3. Keep the electric tool out of the reach of children and other persons. If there is a distraction, you may lose control of the appliance.
2. Electrical safety
   1. The connector plug from this electric tool must fit into the socket. The plug should never be altered in any way. Never use adapter plugs together with earthed electric tools. Unaltered plugs and correct sockets reduce the risk of an electric shock.
   2. Avoid bodily contact with earthed sur-faces such as pipes, heating, ovens and fridges. The risk of electric shock is increased if your body is earthed.
   3. Keep the tool out of the rain and away from moisture. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
   4. Do not use the cable to carry the electric tool, to hang it up or to pull it out of the socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts of the appliance. Damaged or entangled cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
   5. If you are working outdoors with an elec-tric tool, only use extension cables which are designed specifically for this purpose. Using specially designed outdoor extension cables, the risk of electric shock is reduced.
   6. If operation of the electric tool in a damp environment can not be avoided, use a earth-leakage circuit-breaker. The earthleakage circuit-breaker reduces the risk of an electric shock.
3. Safety of persons
   1. Be careful, watch what you are doing and use an electric tool sensibly. Do not use the tool if you are tired or under the infl uence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when using the electric tool can result in serious injuries.
   2. Wear personal protection equipment and always wear safety goggles. Wearing personal protection (such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmet or ear protection, depending upon the type and use of the electric tool) reduces the risk of injury.
   3. Make sure that the appliance cannot start up accidentally. Ensure that the electric tool is switched off before you connect it to the power supply and/or insert the battery, or pick up or carry the tool. If your finger is on the switch whilst carrying the electric tool or if you connect the appliance to the mains when it is switched on, this can lead to accidents.
   4. Remove keys and wrenches before swit-ching on the electric tool. A tool or key which comes into contact with rotating parts of the appliance can lead to injuries.
   5. Avoid abnormal working postures. Make sure you stand squarely and keep your balance at all times. In this way, you can control the electric tool better in unexpected circumstances.
   6. Wear suitable work clothes. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothes and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can get trapped in moving parts.
   7. If vacuuming devices and draining de-vices can be fitted, make sure that these are correctly attached and correctly used. The use of a dust extraction system can reduce the danger posed by dust.
      Do not lose this safety information.
4. Usage and treatment of the electric tool
   1. Do not overload the appliance. Use the correct tool for your work. You will be able to work better and more safely within the given performance boundaries.
   2. Do not use an electric tool with a defec-tive switch. An electric tool that cannot be switched on or off is dangerous and must be repaired.
   3. Pull the plug out of the socket and/or remove the battery before making any adjustments to the appliance, changing accessories or put the appliance down. This safety measure prevents starting the electric tool unintentionally.
   4. Keep unused electric tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow people who are not familiar with the appliance or who have not read these instructions to use the appliance. Electric tools are dangerous if they are used by inexperienced people.
   5. Clean your electric tool carefully. Check whether moving parts are functioning properly and not jamming, whether parts are broken or damaged enough that the functioning of this electric tool is affected. Have damaged parts repaired before using the appliance. Many accidents are caused by badly maintained electric tools.
   6. Keep your cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges will jam less and are easier to control.
   7. Make sure to use electric tools, accesso-ries, attachments, etc. in accordance with these instructions. Take the conditions in your work area and the job in hand into account. Using electric tools for any purpose other than the one for which they are intended can lead to dangerous situations.
5. Service
   1. Have your electric tool repaired only by trained personnel using only genuine spare parts. This will ensure that your electric tool remains safe to use.
