General safety information

WARNING!

When using electric tools the following general safety instructions must be obeyed to protect yourself from electric shocks, injury and fire risks.

Read all these instructions before using this electric tool and keep the safety instruction in a safe place.

Keep your work area clean and tidy. Untidy workplaces and workbenches increase the risk of accidents and injuries.

Do not expose the appliance to rain and do not use it in wet or moisture conditions.

Provide adequate lighting or good lighting conditions when working with the machine.

Do not work with electric tools in conditions with flammable liquids, gases or dust. Electric tools produce sparks able to ignite dust or fumes.

Protect yourself from electric shock.

Avoid body contact with earthed objects (for example pipes, radiators, electric stoves and cooling units). There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.

Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Do not touch the electric tool or the cable. When not concentrated, you may lose control over the machine.
