6. Safety instructions

General safety instructions for electric tools
m WARNING! Read all safety instructions, infor-
mation, illustrations and technical data for this
electric tool. Failure to observe the following infor-
mation and instructions can result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injuries.
Store all safety instructions and information for
future reference.
The term "electric tool" used in the safety instructions
refers to mains-powered electric tools (with a mains
cable) or battery-powered electric tools (without a
mains cable).
Workplace safety
a) Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Dis-
organised or unlit work areas can result in acci-
dents.
b) Do not work with the electric tool in an explo-
sive environment where flammable liquids,
gases or dusts may be located. Electric tools
produce sparks that may ignite dust or vapours.
c) Keep children and other people away while
using the electric tool. Distractions may cause
you to lose control of the electric tool.
Electrical safety
a) The electrical tool's connection plug must fit
into the socket. The plug may not be modified in
any way. Do not use an adaptor plug together with
earthed electric tools. Unmodified plugs and suit-
able sockets reduce the risk of an electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces,
such as pipes, heaters, ovens and refriger-
ators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed.
c) Keep electric tools away from rain and mois-
ture. Water entering an electric tool increases the
risk of an electric shock.
d) Do not use the cable for another purpose, for
example, carrying or hanging the electric tool
or pulling the plug out of the socket. Keep the
cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
device parts. Damaged or coiled cables increase
the risk of an electric shock.
e) If you work with an electric tool outdoors,
only use extension cables that are also suit-
able for outdoor use. Using an extension cable
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of an
electric shock.
f) If you cannot avoid using the electrical tool in
a wet environment, use a fault-current circuit
breaker. Using a fault-current circuit breaker re-
duces the risk of an electric shock.
Safety of personnel
a) Remain attentive, pay attention to what you
are doing and be sensible when working with
electric tools. Do not use an electric tool if
you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of careless-
ness when using electrical tools can result in se-
rious injuries.
b) Wear personal protective equipment and al-
ways wear safety goggles. Protective equip-
ment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat or hearing protection used for appropri-
ate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid unintentional startup. Make sure that
the electric tool is switched off before you
connect it the power supply and/or battery,
pick it up or carry it. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove the setting tools or spanners before
switching on the electric tool. A tool or spanner
that is located in a rotating device part may result
in injuries.
e) Avoid abnormal posture. Make sure that you
have secure footing and always maintain your
balance. This will allow you to better control the
electric tool in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear wide
clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose cloth-
ing, jewellery and long hair can be caught by mov-
ing parts.
