ways wear eye protection (safety goggles).

Wearing personal protection equipment as a dust 

mask, nonslip safety shoes, safety helmet or ear 

protectors (depending on the type and application 

of the tool) reduces the risk of injury.

c) Avoid unintentional operation. Make sure that 

the power tool is switched off before you con-

nect  it  to  the  mains  supply  and/or  the  battery 

and whenever you pick up or carry the tool.

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 power tool on.

 A 

wrench or other tool that is inside or on a rotating 

part of the tool may cause injury.

e) Avoid unusual postures. Make sure to have a 

safe footing and keep your balance at all times.

This will allow you to better control the power tool 

in unexpected situations.

f)  Wear suitable clothes. Do not wear wide cloth-

ing 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  pro

-

vided make sure that they are connected and 

used properly. 

The use of a dust extraction device 

may reduce risks caused by dust.

4) Use and handling of the power tool

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 effec-

tive and safer.

b) Do not use a power tool with a damaged switch.

A power tool that cannot be switched on or off any 

more is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Pull the mains plug and/or remove the battery 

before adjusting a tool, changing accessories 

or putting the tool aside.

 This precaution avoids 

the unintentional start of the tool.

d) Store power tools that are currently not used 

out of the reach of children. Do not allow per-

sons to use the tool if they are not familiar with 

the tool or these instructions.

 Power tools are 

dangerous 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 otherwise damaged in a way that may 

affect the function of the power tool. Have dam-

aged parts repaired before using the tool.

 Many 

accidents are the result of poorly maintained power 

tools.

f)  Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. 

Thoroughly 

maintained 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 instructions and in the 

way prescribed for the respective type of tool. 

You should also consider the working condi-

tions 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 situ-

ations. 

5) Service

a) Have the power tool serviced by qualified tech

-

nical personnel only; repairs should be carried 

out using exclusively original spare parts.

 This 

will ensure the continued safe operation of the 

power tool.
