1. Introduction
Important!
When using equipment, a few safety
precautions must be observed to avoid injuries
and damage. Please read the complete
operating manual with due care. Keep this
manual in a safe place, so that the information
is available at all times. If you give the
equipment to any other person, give them
these operating instructions as well.
We accept no liability for damage or accidents
which arise due to non-observance of these
instructions and the safety information.
2. Safety regulations
General safety instructions for electric
tools
CAUTION!
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
regulations 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
Keep your work area clean and well
illuminated. Untidy or unlit work areas can
result in accidents.
Do not use this tool in a potentially
explosive environment containing
combustible liquids, gases or dust.
Electric tools generate sparks, which can in
turn ignite dust or vapors.
Keep children and other persons away
from the electric tool while it is being
used.
Allowing yourself to get distracted can
cause you to lose control of the tool.
2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The tool’s connector plug must be able
to fit into the socket outlet. Do not
modify the plug in any way! Do not use
adapter plugs in conjunction with
electrically grounded tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching socket
outlets reduce the risk of an electric shock.
Avoid touching grounded surfaces, such
as those of pipes/tubes, heaters,
cookers and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of getting an
electric shock if you are electrically
grounded.
Keep the tool away from rain and
moisture/wet conditions.
Penetration of water into an electric tool
increases the risk of an electric shock.
Do not use the cable to carry the tool,
hang it up or pull the plug out of the
socket. Keep the cable away from
sources of heat, oil, sharp edges and
moving tool parts.
Damaged or tangled cable increases the
risk of an electric shock.
If you intend to use an electric tool
outdoors, ensure that you only use
extension cable that is approved for
outdoor applications.
Using extension cable that is approved for
outdoor applications reduces the risk of an
electric shock.
If operation of the electric tool in a damp
environment can not be avoided, use a
earth-leakage circuit-breaker.
The earth-leakage circuit-breaker reduces
the risk of an electric shock.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY
Be alert, work conscientiously and
exercise appropriate caution when using
the electric tool. Do not use the tool if
you are tired or are under the influence
of drugs/medication or alcohol.
One moment of carelessness or lack of
attention when using the electric tool can
cause serious bodily injury!
Always wear personal protective
