2.1.General safety information for power tools

Warning!  Read all safety-related information 

and  safety instructions!

 Failure to observe the 

safety information and instructions may result in 
electric shock, burns and/or severe injury. 

Keep  the safety information and instructions for 

future reference.

The term ‘power tool’ as used in the safety information 
and instructions includes both mains-operated tools (with 
power cord) and battery-operated tools (without power 
cord).

1) Safety at the workplace

a) Keep  your working area clean, tidy and well-lit.

Disorder and poorly lit working areas may result in 
accidents.

b) 

Do  not operate the power tool in potentially 

explosive  environments containing combusti-

ble  f uids,  gases or dusts. 

Power tools generate 

sparks that may ignite dusts or fumes.

c) 

Keep  children and other persons away while 

you  are operating the power tool.

 Distractions 

may result in the operator loosing control over the 
tool.

2) Electrical safety

a) The  mains plug of the power tool must  f t  into 

the  mains socket. The plug must not be modi-

f ed  in any way .  Do not use adapter plugs/con-

nectors  in combination with tools with protec-

tive earthing.

 Unmodifi ed plugs and fi tting  sockets 

reduce the risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces as 

pipes, heaters, ovens and refrigerators.

 There is 

an increased risk of electric shock if your body is 
earthed.

c) Keep  the tool out of the rain or moisture in 

general. 

The penetration of water into a power tool 

increases the risk of electric shock.

d) Do  not use the cord to carry or hang up the 

tool  or to pull the plug out of the socket. Keep 

the  cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges 

or moving parts of the tool. 

Damaged or tangled 

cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use ex-

clusively extension cords that are approved for 

outdoor-use.

 The use of an extension cord that is 

suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric 
shock. 

f)  If the operation of a power tool in a moist envi-

ronment  cannot be avoided it is highly recom-

mended  to use a residual current device (RCD).

The use of an RCD 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 power tool when you are 

tired  or under the in f uence  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 and al-

ways  wear eye protection (safety goggles).

Wearing personal protection equipment as a dust 
mask, nonslip safety shoes, safety helmet or ear 
protectors (depending on the type and application 
of the tool) reduces the risk of injury.

c) Avoid  unintentional operation. Make sure that 

the  power tool is switched off before you con-

nect  it to the mains supply and/or the battery 

and  whenever you pick up or carry the tool.

When carrying the tool with your fi nger on the on/
off switch or connecting the tool to the mains supply 
with the switch in ‘ON’ position, this may result in 
accidents.

d) Remove  adjustment tools or wrenches and

the  like before you switch the power tool on.

 A 

wrench or other tool that is inside or on a rotating 
part of the tool may cause injury.

e) Avoid  unusual postures. Make sure to have a 

safe footing and keep your balance at all times.

This will allow you to better control the power tool 
in unexpected situations.

f)  Wear  suitable clothes. Do not wear wide cloth-

ing  or jewellery .  Keep your hair ,  clothes and 

gloves clear of all moving parts. 

Loose clothing, 

jewellery or long hair may get caught in moving 
parts.

g) If  dust extraction/collection devices are pro-

vided  make sure that they are connected and 

used properly. 

The use of a dust extraction device 

may reduce risks caused by dust.

4) Use and handling of the power tool

a) Do  not overtax the power tool. Use the power 

tool intended for your type of work in each case. 

The use of the suitable power tool within the stated 
range of performance makes working more effec-
tive and safer.

b) Do not use a power tool with a damaged switch.

A power tool that cannot be switched on or off any 
more is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Pull  the mains plug and/or remove the battery 

before  adjusting a tool, changing accessories 

or  putting the tool aside.

 This precaution avoids 

the unintentional start of the tool.

d) Store  power tools that are currently not used 

out  of the reach of children. Do not allow per-

sons to use the tool if they are not familiar with 

the  tool or these instructions.

 Power tools are 

dangerous if used by inexperienced persons.

e) Thoroughly  maintain your power tool. Check 

whether moving parts are working properly and 

are not jamming/sticking, and whether parts are 

broken or otherwise damaged in a way that may 

affect the function of the power tool. Have dam-

aged parts repaired before using the tool.

 Many 

accidents are the result of poorly maintained power 
tools.

f)  Keep  cutting tools sharp and clean. 

Thoroughly 

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges 
are jamming less often and are easier to guide.

g) Use power tools, accessories, add-on tools, etc.  

in accordance with these instructions and in the
