Operating Instructions
10
d) Do not use the cable to carry or hang
up the tool or to pull the plug out of the
socket. Keep the cable away from heat,
oil and sharp edges or moving parts of
the tool.
Damaged or tangled cables in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use exclusively extension cables that are
approved for outdoor-use.
The use of an
extension cable that is suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Always pay attention to what you do
and apply reasonable care when working
with a power tool. Do not use the tool
when you are tired or under the influence
of medication, drugs or alcohol.
When
working with power tools even a short mo-
ment of inattentiveness may result in severe
injury.
b) Wear personal protection equipment and
always wear eye protection (safety gog-
gles).
Wearing personal protection equip-
ment as a dust mask, nonslip safety shoes,
safety helmet or ear protectors (depending
on the type and use of the tool) reduces the
risk of injury.
c) Avoid unintentional operation. Make sure
that the switch is in ‘OFF’ position before
pulling the plug from the mains socket.
When carrying the tool with your finger on
the on/off switch or connecting the tool to the
mains supply with the switch in ‘ON’ position,
this may result in accidents.
d) Remove adjustment tools or wrenches
and the like before you switch the tool on.
A wrench or another tool that is inside or on
a turning part of the tool may cause injury.
e) Do not overestimate your abilities. Take
care of a safe footing and keep your bal-
ance at all times.
This will allow you to bet-
ter control the tool in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothes. Do not wear wide
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothes and gloves clear of all moving
parts.
Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair
may get caught in moving parts.
g) If dust extraction/collection devices are
provided make sure that they are con-
nected and used properly.
The use of
these devices reduces hazards caused by
dust.
4) Careful handling and use of power tools
a) Do not overtax the power tool. Use the
power tool intended for your type of work
in each case.
The use of the suitable power
tool within the stated range of performance
makes working more effective and safer.
b) Do not use a power tool with a dam-
aged switch.
A power tool that cannot be
switched on or off any more is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Pull the mains plug out of the socket be-
fore you adjust a tool, change accesso-
ries or put the tool aside.
This precaution
avoids the unintentional start of the tool.
d) Store power tools out of the reach of
children. Do not allow persons to use the
tool if they are not familiar with the tool
or these instructions.
Power tools are dan-
gerous if used by inexperienced persons.
e) Thoroughly maintain your power tool.
Check whether moving parts are working
properly and are not jamming/sticking,
and whether parts are broken or other-
wise damaged in a way that affects the
function of the tool. Have damaged parts
repaired before using the tool.
Many ac-
cidents are the result of poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Thor-
oughly looked-after cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are jamming less often and
are easier to guide.
g) Use power tools, accessories, add-on
tools, etc. in accordance with these in-
structions and in the way prescribed for
the respective type of tool. You should
also consider the working conditions
and the work to be carried out.
The use
of power tools for purposes other than those
intended for the respective tool may result in
dangerous situations.
5) Appropriate handling and use of battery-
operated power tools
a) Make sure that the device has been
switched off before inserting the battery.
Inserting a battery into a switched-on power
tool may lead to accidents!
b) Only use charging devices recommend-
ed by the manufacturer to charge the bat-
teries.
Charging units are usually designed
for certain types of batteries; if used with
other types there is a risk of fire!
