Retain all safety notices and instructions for future use.

Warning! Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the safety 

instructions and instructions can result in electric shock, fire and / or serious injury.

The term “power tool” used in the safety instructions refers to mains-operated power tools 

(with a power cord) and to battery-operated power tools (without a power cord).

a) Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or unlit work areas can lead to 

accidents.

b) Do not work with the power tool in an explosive environment in which there are 

flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools generate sparks that can ignite the dust 

or fumes. 

c) Keep children and other people away while using the power tool. If you are distracted, 

you can lose control of the device.

a) The power tool connector must match the socket. The plug must not be modified in 

any way. Do not use adapter plugs with protective earthed power tools. Unmodified 

plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, heaters, stoves and refrigera

tors. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

c) Keep power tools away from rain or moisture. Water getting into a power tool increas

es the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not misuse the cable to carry the power tool, to hang it up or to pull the plug from 

the socket. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts of the 

device. Damaged or tangled cables increase the risk of electric shock.

e) If you work with a power tool outdoors, only use extension cables that are also 

suitable for outdoor use. Using an extension cord suitable for outdoor use will reduce 

the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating the power tool in a damp environment cannot be avoided, use a residual 

current circuit breaker. The use of a residual current circuit breaker reduces the risk of 

an electric shock.

a) Be attentive, pay attention to what you are doing, and use your common sense when 

working with a power tool. Do not use a power tool when you are tired or under the 

influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while using the 

power tool can result in serious injury.

b) Wear personal protective equipment and always protective goggles. Wearing personal 

protective equipment, such as a dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, hard hat or hearing 

protection, depending on the type and use of the power tool, reduces the risk of 

injuries.

c) Avoid unintentional start-up. Make sure that the power tool is switched off before you 

connect it to the power supply and / or the battery, pick it up or carry it. Accidents can 

occur if you have your finger on the switch while carrying the power tool or if you 

connect the device to the power supply when it is switched on.
