2. Safety regulations
ƽ
Caution!
Read all safety regulations and instruc-
tions.
Any errors made in following the safety regu-
lations and instructions may result in an electric
shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety regulations and instruc-
tions in a safe place for future use.
The term “electric tool” used in the safety inst-
ructions refers to electric tools operated from the
mains power supply (with a power cable) and to
battery operated electric tools (without a power
cable).
1. Workplace safety
a) Keep your work area clean and well
illuminated. Untidy or unlit work areas can
result in accidents.
b) Do not operate the electric tool in an
environment where there is a risk
of explosions and where there are
infl ammable liquids, gases or dust.
Electric tools produce sparks which could set
the dust or vapours alight.
c) Keep the electric tool out of the reach
of children and other persons. If there
is a distraction, you may lose control of the
appliance.
2. Electrical safety
a) The connector plug from this electric
tool must fi t into the socket. The plug
should never be altered in any way.
Never use adapter plugs together
with earthed electric tools. Unaltered
plugs and correct sockets reduce the risk of an
electric shock.
b) Avoid bodily contact with earthed
surfaces such as pipes, heating, ovens
and fridges. The risk of electric shock is in-
creased if your body is earthed.
c) Keep the tool out of the rain and
away from moisture. The ingress of water
into an electric tool increases the risk of an
electric shock.
d) Do not use the cable to carry the elec-
tric tool, to hang it up or to pull it out
of the socket. Keep the cable away
from heat, oil, sharp edges and mo-
ving parts of the appliance. Damaged
or entangled cables increase the risk of an
electric shock.
e) If you are working outdoors with
an electric tool, only use extension
cables which are designed specifi cally
for this purpose. Using specially designed
outdoor extension cables, the risk of electric
shock is reduced.
f) If operation of the electric tool in a
damp environment can not be avo-
ided, use a earth-leakage circuit-
breaker. The earth-leakage circuit-breaker
reduces the risk of an electric shock.
3. Safety of persons
a) Be careful, watch what you are doing
and use an electric tool sensibly. Do
not use the tool if you are tired or un-
der the infl uence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention when
using the electric tool can result in serious inju-
ries.
b) Wear personal protection equipment
and always wear safety goggles.
Wearing personal protection (such as dust
masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmet
or ear protection, depending upon the type
