General safety regulations for
electric tools
This equipment is not designed to be used
by people (including children) with limited
physical, sensory or mental capacities or
those with no experience and/or knowledge
unless they are supervised by a person who
is responsible for their safety or they have
received instructions from such a person in
how to use the equipment safely. Children
must always be supervised in order to ensure
that they do not play with the equipment.
CAUTION: Read all safety regulations
and instructions.
Any failures made in following the safety
regulations and instructions may result in an
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety regulations and
instructions in a safe place for future use.
The term “electric tool” used in the safety
regulations 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
• Keep your work area clean and well
illuminated. Untidy or unlit work areas can
result in accidents.
• Do not use this tool in a potentially
explosive environment containing
combustible liquids, gases or dust.
Electric tools generate sparks, which can
in turn ignite dust or vapors.
• Keep children and other persons away
from the electric tool while it is being
used. Allowing yourself to get distracted
can cause you to lose control of the tool.
2. Electrical safety
• The tool’s connector plug must be
able to fit into the socket outlet. Do
not modify the plug in any way! Do not
use adapter plugs in conjunction with
electrically grounded tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching socket outlets reduce
the risk of an electric shock.
• Avoid touching grounded surfaces,
such as those of pipes/tubes, heaters,
cookers and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of getting an electric shock if
you are electrically grounded.
• Keep the tool away from rain and
moisture/wet conditions. Penetration of
water into an electric tool increases the risk
of an electric shock.
• Do not use the cable to carry the tool,
hang it up or pull the plug out of the
socket. Keep the cable away from
sources of heat, oil, sharp edges and
moving tool parts. Damaged or tangled
cable increases the risk of an electric
shock.
• If you intend to use an electric tool
outdoors, ensure that you only use
extension cable that is approved for
outdoor applications. Using extension
cable that is approved for outdoor
applications reduces the risk of an electric
shock.
• If operation of the electric tool in a
damp environment can not be avoided,
use a earthleakage circuit-breaker. The
earth-leakage circuit-breaker reduces the
risk of an electric shock.
3. Personal safety
• Be alert, work conscientiously and
exercise appropriate caution when
using the electric tool. Do not use
the tool if you are tired or are under
the influence of drugs/medication or
alcohol. One moment of carelessness or
lack of attention when using the electric
tool can cause serious bodily injury!
• Always wear personal protective
equipment (PPE), including safety
goggles. Wearing personal protective
equipment such as a dust mask, non-slip
footwear, protective headgear and ear
muffs (depending upon the type of electric
Helpline No. UK 0151 649 1500 / IRE 189 094 6244
03
tool and the particular application) reduces
the risk of sustaining injury.
• Make sure that the tool cannot start up
accidentally. Ensure that the electric
tool is switched off before you connect
the tool to the power supply and/or
insert the battery, or pick up or carry
the tool. Physically touching the switch
with your finger when carrying the tool or
connecting the tool to the power supply
switched on can lead to accidents.
• Remove adjusting tools/wrench(es) prior
to switching on the power tool. A tool or
wrench that is positioned inside a rotating
power tool part can cause injury.
• Avoid abnormal working postures. Make
sure you stand squarely and keep your
balance at all times. This way, you will be
able to have better control over the tool in
unexpected situations.
• Wear suitable clothes. Never wear loose
tting clothes or jewelry. Keep hair,
clothes and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothing, dangling jewelry and
long hair can be caught by moving parts.
• If dust extraction and dust collection
devices can be mounted, ensure that
these are connected and are properly
used. The use of a dust extraction system
can reduce the danger posed by dust.
4. Using the treatment of
electric tools
• When not in use, store electric tools
out of the reach of children. Do not
allow those persons to use this tool who
are unfamiliar with it or who have not
read these instructions. Electric tools
are dangerous when they are used by
inexperienced persons.
• Take good care of your tool. Check that
moving parts properly function and do
not jam, that parts are not broken off or
damaged in any way and that the tool
can be used to its full capacity. Have
damaged parts repaired prior to using
the tool. The cause of many accidents
can be traced back to poorly maintained
electric tools.
• Keep your blades sharp and clean.
Properly maintained blades with sharp edges
jam less frequently and are easier to use.
• Make sure to use electric tools,
accessories, attachments, etc. in
accordance with these instructions. Take
the conditions in your work area and the
job in hand into account. Using electric
tools for applications other than those
intended can lead to dangerous situations.
5. Service
• Have your tool repaired only by
authorized specialists using original
replacement parts. This will ensure that
your tool remains safe to use.
• Do not overload your tool. Only use
suitable electric tools to perform your
work. Using the right electric tool allows you
to work better and safer within the tool’s
quoted capacity range.
• Do not use an electric tool whose switch
is defective. An electric tool that no longer
can be switched on or off is dangerous
and must be repaired.
• Pull the plug out of the socket and/
or remove the battery before making
any adjustments to the tool, changing
accessories or put the tool down. This
precaution eliminates the possibility of
inadvertently starting the tool.

6. Careful handling and use
of Cordless equipment
• Ensure that the equipment is switched
off before you insert the battery. Inserting
a battery into an electric tool that is
switched on can cause accidents.
• Only charge the batteries in chargers
that are recommended by the
manufacturer. A charger that is designed
for a certain type of batteries may pose
a fire risk if it is used with other types of
batteries.
• Use only the correct batteries in the
electric tools. The use of other batteries
may result in injuries and a fire risk.
• Keep unused batteries away from paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and
other metallic objects that could cause
a short circuit between the contacts. A
short circuit between the battery contacts
may cause burns or a fire.
• In case of incorrect use, uid may
escape from the battery. Avoid contact
with it. If you touch it by mistake, rinse
the affected area with water. If you get
the fluid in your eyes, also seek medical
advice. Leaking battery fluid can cause
skin irritation or burns.
