General safety information for power tools

Attention! 

Read all instructions contained 

herein. Failure to observe the following 

instructions may result in electric shock, 

burns and/or severe injury. The term ‘power 

tool’ used in the following includes both 

mains-operated  tools  (with  mains  supply) 

and battery-operated tools (without mains 

supply).

KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!
1) Working area

a) Keep your working area clean and tidy.

Untidy and poorly lit working areas may 

lead to accidents.

b) Do not operate the tool in potentially ex-

plosive environments containing com-

bustible  fluids,  gases  or  dusts.

Power 

tools generate sparks that may ignite dusts 

or fumes.

c) Keep children and other persons away 

when you are operating the power tool.

Distractions may result in the operator loos-

ing control over the tool.

2) Electrical safety

a) The mains plug of the power tool must 

fit into the mains socket. The plug must 

not be modified in any way. Do not use 

adapter plugs/connectors in combina-

tion with tools with protective earthing. 

Unmodified plugs and fitting sockets reduce 

the risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid physical contact with earthed sur-

faces  as  pipes,  heaters,  ovens  and  re

-

frigerators.

There is an increased risk of 

electric shock if your body earthed.

c) Keep the tool out of the rain.

The pen-

etration of water into a power tool increases 

the risk of electric shock.

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 

increase 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 out-

door 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  influ

-

ence  of  medication,  drugs  or  alcohol.

When working with power tools even a 

short moment of inattentiveness may result 

in severe injury.

b) Wear personal protection equipment
