J Attention! The following fundamental safety
measures are to be observed for your protection
against electrocution and the dangers of personal
injury or fire when using electrical hand tools.
J Read and take note of these safety instructions
before using the appliance for the first time, and
have them readily available at all times. Failure
to strictly observe these safety instructions
could lead to electrocution, fire and / or serious
personal injury.
Page 5
Safety
L Workplace-Safety
J Keep your workplace clean and tidy. Disorder
and poorly lit working areas can lead to accidents.
J Do not use this appliance in areas where there is
a potential danger of explosions of inflammable
liquids, gases or dust. Electrical hand tools produce
sparks which could ignite the dust or vapours.
J When using electrical tools, ensure
that children and other persons are
not in the close vicinity. In the event
of distraction you could lose control over the
appliance.
L
Electrical Safety
Avoid fatal risks through electrocution:
J The connecting plug of the appliance must fit
into the plug socket. Under no circumstances
may the plug be altered. Do not use adapter plugs
together with earthing-protected appliances.
Unmodified plugs and suitable wall sockets
reduce the risk of electrocution.
J Avoid bodily contact with earthed surfaces, such
as pipes, radiators, ovens and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electrocution if
your body is earthed.
J Warning! Protect the appliance from rain and
moisture. The entry of water into an electrical
appliance increases the risk of electrocution.
J Do not misuse the electrical cable, e.g. to carry
the appliance, suspend it in storage or to pull
the plug from the socket. Keep the cable away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or appliance components in motion. Damaged plugs or tangled
cables increase the risk of electrocution.
J Caution! Regularly check the connections of
electrical hand tools and, if damage is discovered,
arrange for them to be repaired by a recognised
specialist.
J When working outdoors, only use extension
cables that are approved for use outdoors. The
use of an extension cable suitable for employment outdoors reduces the risk of electrocution.
J Damaged appliances, power cables
and plugs mean potential fatal injury
through electrocution.
Regularly check the condition of appliances,
power cables, power plugs and, if required,
chargers and power packs.
J Never take an appliance that has damaged
components into operation. Immediately remove
the plug from the socket.
J Warning! Never open the appliance.
J Arrange for repairs and parts-exchanges to be
carried out only by the service department or an
electrical specialist.
L
Safety of Personnel
J Always be attentive and always be aware of
what you are doing. Work sensibly with an
electrical hand tool. Do not use the appliance if
you are unconcentrated or tired or influenced
by drugs, alcohol or medications. Just a simple
lapse of attention in the use of an electrical
hand tool is sufficient to lead to serious injuries.
J Wear personal protection equipment
and always a pair of protective
glasses. The wearing of personal
protection equipment, such as a dust mask,
anti-slip safety shoes, protective gloves, hard
hat and hearing protectors, dependant on the
type of electrical hand tool and its employment,
reduces the risk of injuries.
J Avoid unintentional operation of the appliance.
Ensure that the switch is in the „OFF“ Position
before inserting the plug into the power socket.
If you have a finger on the ON / OFF switch when
carrying the appliance, or plug it in when it is
already switched on, this can lead to serious
accidents.
J Remove the adjusting tool or screwdriver before
switching the appliance on. A tool or key that
is in a revolving motor component could, when
thrown out, lead to potentially serious injuries.
J Do not overestimate yourself. Ensure that you
are standing firmly and maintain your balance
at all times. You can thus control the appliance
better, especially in unexpected situations.

Safety
J Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves well away from moving components.
Wear a hairnet if you have long hair. Loose, not
well-fitting clothing, jewellery and long hair can
become caught up in moving components.
J Use dust suction and / or collection units if these
can be assembled. Thereby take note that the
dust collection units fitted must be suitable for
this particular area of application. The correct
use of these equipments reduces potential
dangers caused by dust.
J Immobilise the workpiece securely. Use clamps /
vices to firmly hold the workpiece. It is thus better
secured than just with your hand.
L
Diligent Interaction
and Use of Electrical Hand Tools
J Do not overburden your electrical tools. Use the
electrical hand tool that is applicable to the work
to be done.
It works better and safer in the pre-determined
area of performance.
J Never use an electrical hand tool that has a
defective switch. An electrical hand tool that can
no longer be switched on or off is dangerous
and must be repaired before being used.
J Remove the plug from the socket before making
adjustments on the appliance, changing ancillaries
or putting it into storage. These precautions prevent the unintentional starting of the appliance.
J Store unused electrical hand tools out of the
reach of children. Do not permit individuals to
use appliances if they are not informed about
the interaction with them or they have not read
these instructions. Electrical hand tools can be
dangerous when in the hands of inexperienced
people.
J Maintain the appliance with care. Check to see
that all moving parts are free-running and do
not jam. Regularly check to see if components
are broken or so worn and / or damaged that
they have a negative influence on the performance of the appliance. Arrange for damaged
components to be repaired before using the
appliance. Many accidents have their origin in
poorly maintained electrical hand tools.
J Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges jam less often and are easier to guide.
J Keep hand grips dry, clean and free from oil
and grease.
J Use electrical hand tools, accessories or ancil-
lary components only in accordance with these
instructions and in such a manner as is detailed
for the particular types of appliance. Take consideration thereby of the working conditions and
the task to be completed. The use of electrical
hand tools for purposes other than those originally intended can lead to dangerous situations.
L
Service
J Permit your appliance to be repaired only by
qualified specialists and only with original spare
parts. Thus, you can be certain that the safety of
your appliance is assured.
J Permit the exchange of plugs and power cables
to be carried out only by the manufacturer of the
hand tool or his authorised customer service.
Thus, you can be certain that the safety of your
appliance is assured.
L
Original ancillaries / and accessories
j Use only the ancillaries and accessories detailed
in the operating instructions.
The use of ancillaries and accessories other
than those detailed in the operating instructions
could mean the risk of injuries for you.
Attention - Service lines!
J Attention! Take steps to ensure you do not,
resp. cannot, damage electrical, gas or water
service lines when working with electrical power
tools. If necessary, carry out a check with a cable /
pipeline detector before boring or cutting into
a wall.
