GB/IE/CY

Make sure that the switch is in the “OFF” posi-
tion before you insert the mains plug into the 
socket. Accidents can happen if you carry the 
device with your finger on the ON/OFF switch 
or you have already switched the device on  
before you connect it to the mains.

J

   Remove any setting tools or spanners before 

you switch the device on.  
A tool or spanner left attached to a rotating 
part of a device can lead to injury.

J

   Do not overestimate your own abilities. Keep 

proper footing and balance at all times. By  
doing this you will be in a better position to 
control the device in unforeseen circumstances.

J

   Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose 

clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing 
and gloves clear of moving parts. If you have 
long hair, wear a hair net. Clothing, jewellery 
or hair that is loose or hangs from your body, 
head or limbs can become trapped in moving 
parts.  

  Careful handling and use  

of electrical power tools

J

   Do not overload the device. Always use an 

electrical power tool that is intended for the 
task you are undertaking. By using the right 
electrical power tool for the job you will work 
more safely and achieve a better result. 

J

   Do not use an electrical power tool if its switch 

is defective. An electrical power tool that can 
no longer be switched on and off is dangerous 
and must be repaired. 

J

   Pull the mains plug from the socket before you 

make any adjustments to the device, change 
accessories or when the device is put away. 
This precaution is intended to prevent you from 
unintentionally starting the device. 

J

   When not in use always ensure that electrical 

power tools are kept out of reach of children.  
Do not let anyone use the device if he or she is 
not familiar with it or has not read the instruc-
tions and advice. Electrical power tools are 
dangerous when they are used by inexperi-
enced people. 

J

   Look after the device carefully. Check that mov-

ing parts are working properly and move  
freely. Check for any parts that are broken or 
damaged enough to detrimentally affect the 
functioning of the device. Have damaged parts 
repaired before you use the device. Many  
accidents have their origins in poorly main-
tained electrical power tools. 

J

   Use the electrical power tool, accessories,  

inserted tools etc. in accordance with these  
instructions and advice, and the stipulations 
drawn up for this particular type of device. In 
doing this, take into account the working condi-
tions and the task in hand. The use of electrical 
power tools for purposes other than those  
intended can lead to dangerous situations.
