WARNING! Read all safety precautions and instructions.

Failures in the compliance with

these safety precautions and instructions can cause electric shock, fire and/or heavy injuries.

Please keep these safety precautions and instructions for the future.

The term “electric tool” used in the safety precautions corresponds to mains operated electric tools
(with mains cord) and to battery operated electric tools (without mains cord).

Security of employment

Keep your working area clean and well illuminated.

Disorder or unilluminated

working areas can cause accidents.

Do not work in explosive ambiances with the electric tool, in which there are
flammable liquid, gases or dusts.

Electric tools generate sparks which can inflame

the dust or vapors.

Keep children and other persons away from the electric tool while using it.

W hen

being distracted, you can lose the control on the device.

Electrical safety

The mains plug of the electric tool must fit into the socket. The plug must not be
changed in any kind. Do not use adapter plugs together with earthed electric
tools.

Unmodified plugs and fitting sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.

Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces, like tubes, heatings, cookers and
fridges.

There is a higher risk of electric shock when your body is earthed.

Keep your electric tool away from rain or wetness.

The infiltration of water into an

electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

Do not divert the cord from its intended use from carrying or hanging up the
electric tool, or for pulling the plugs from the socket. Keep the cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving device parts.

Damaged or tangled cords increase

the risk of an electric shock.

If you work outside with your electric tool, only use extension cords that are
appropriate for outside use.

The use of a extension cord which is appropriate for

outside use reduces the risk of an electric shock.

If the use of the electric tool in humid areas is inevitable, use a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI).

The use of a GFCI reduces the risk of an electric shock.

Personal safety

Be attentive, pay attention to what you do and go to work with the electric tool
with reason. Do not use an electric tool when you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or pharmaceuticals.

One moment of carelessness while

using an electric tool can cause serious injuries.

Wear personal protective equipment and always goggles.

The wearing of personal

protective equipment, like dust mask, skid-proof shoes, protection helmet or hearing
protection, depending on the kind and use of the electric tool reduces the risk of
injuries.

Avoid unintended start up. Make sure that the electric tool is switched off before
connecting it to the mains and/or the battery, picking it up or carrying it.

W hen

you have your finger on the switch while carrying the electric tool or connect the device
to the mains when it is switched on, this can cause accidents.

Remove adjusting tools or wrenches before switching on the electric tool.

A tool

or wrench which is located on a turning device can cause injuries.
