and use of the electric tool) reduces the risk of
injury.

c) Make sure that the appliance cannot start up

accidentally. Ensure that the electric
tool is switched off before you con-
nect it to the power supply and/or
insert the battery, or pick up or carry
the tool. If your ﬁ nger is on the switch whilst
carrying the electric tool or if you connect the
appliance to the mains when it is switched on,
this can lead to accidents.

d) Remove keys and wrenches before

switching on the electric tool. A tool or
key which comes into contact with rotating
parts of the appliance can lead to injuries.

e) Avoid abnormal working postures.

Make sure you stand squarely and
keep your balance at all times. In this
way, you can control the electric tool better in
unexpected circumstances.

f) Wear suitable work clothes. Do not

wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep hair, clothes and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewel-
lery or long hair can get trapped in moving
parts.

g) If vacuuming devices and draining

devices can be ﬁ tted, make sure that
these are correctly attached and cor-
rectly used. The use of a dust extraction
system can reduce the danger posed by dust.

4. Usage and treatment of the electric

tool

a) Do not overload the appliance. Use

the correct tool for your work. You will
be able to work better and more safely within
the given performance boundaries.

b) Do not use an electric tool with a de-

fective switch. An electric tool that cannot
be switched on or off is dangerous and must
be repaired.

c) Pull the plug out of the socket and/

or remove the battery before making
any adjustments to the appliance,
changing accessories or put the appli-
ance down. This safety measure prevents
starting the electric tool unintentionally.

d) Keep unused electric tools out of the

reach of children. Do not allow people
who are not familiar with the appli-
ance or who have not read these ins-
tructions to use the appliance. Electric
tools are dangerous if they are used by inex-
perienced people.

e) Clean your electric tool carefully.

Check whether moving parts are
functioning properly and not jam-
ming, whether parts are broken or
damaged enough that the functioning
of this electric tool is affected. Have
damaged parts repaired before using
the appliance. Many accidents are caused
by badly maintained electric tools.

f) Keep your cutting tools sharp and

clean. Carefully maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges will jam less and are ea-
sier to control.

g) Make sure to use electric tools, ac-

cessories, attachments, etc. in ac-
cordance with these instructions. Take
the conditions in your work area and
the job in hand into account. Using
electric tools for any purpose other than the
one for which they are intended can lead to
dangerous situations.

5. Using and handling the cordless tool
a) Only charge the batteries in chargers

that are recommended by the manu-
facturer. A charger that is designed for a
certain type of battery may pose a ﬁ re risk if it
is used with other types of battery.

b) Use only the correct batteries in the

electric tools. The use of other batteries may
result in injuries and a ﬁ re risk.

c) Keep unused batteries away from

paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
and other metallic objects that could
cause a short circuit between the con-
tacts. A short circuit between the battery
contacts may cause burns or a ﬁ re.

d) In case of incorrect use, ﬂ uid may es-

cape from the battery. Avoid contact
with it. If you touch it by accident, rin-
se the affected area with water. If you
