Safety advice
Damaged or tangled mains leads or plugs in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
J A damaged tool, mains lead or plug
presents a serious danger to life from
electric shock.
Frequently check the condition of the device,
mains lead and plug.
J Check the condition of the plug and mains lead
on your electrical tool regularly and have any
damage repaired by a competent specialist.
J When working outdoors always use extension
cables that are also approved for use outdoors.
The use of an extension cable suitable for out-
door use reduces the risk of electric shock.
J Do not use an electrical power tool with dam-
aged parts. If a dangerous situation arises pull
out the mains plug from the socket immediately.
J Warning! Never open up the device.
Always have any repairs carried out or replace-
ment parts fitted at the service centre or by an
electrical equipment repair specialist.
Q Personal safety
J Remain alert at all times and always watch
what you are doing. Work carefully when us-
ing an electrical power tool. Do not use the de-
vice if you cannot concentrate or are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation. Just one moment of carelessness when
using the device can lead to serious injury.
J Wear personal protective equip-
ment and always wear safety
glasses. The wearing of personal
protective equipment such as dust masks, non-slip
safety shoes, protective gloves, safety helmets
or ear protectors, appropriate to the type of
electrical power tool used and work undertaken,
reduces the risk of injury.
J Avoid unintentional operation of the device.
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 do-
ing this you will be in a better position to control
the device in unforeseen circumstances.
J Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing 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.
Q Careful handling and use
of electrical power tools
J Do not overload your electrical power tool. Al-
ways use an electrical power tool that is intend-
ed for the task you are undertaking. You will
work better and more safely if the tool is kept
within its specified operational range.
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 prevents you from unintention-
ally 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 a tool with which he or
she is not familiar or who has not read the in-
structions and advice. Electrical power tools
are dangerous when they are used by inexperi-
enced people.
J Look after your tools meticulously. Check that
moving parts are working properly and move
freely. Check regularly for broken parts or
parts that are damaged to the extent they detri-
mentally affect the functioning of the device.
Have damaged parts repaired before you use
the device. Many accidents have their origins
in poorly maintained electrical power tools.
