IMPORTANT SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR THIS DE- VICE

Read all the safety guidelines and instructions carefully!

Not following the safety guidelines and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injuries.

Retain all the safety guidelines and instructions for future reference. The term "Power tool" used in the following safety instructions refers to power tools with a mains cable or to cordless power tools without a mains cable.

Workplace safety

• Keep the workplace organised and well lit. Dirty or dark workplaces result in accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in potentially explosive surroundings, e.g., near flammable liquids, gases, etc.
  Power tools may generate sparks, which can ignite flammable materials!
• Keep bystanders and children away when using the power tool. You could lose control of the tool if you get distracted.

Electrical safety

• The power tool plug has to fit into a properly installed socket. The plug should not be changed or modified.
  Never use adapters with earthed power tools. Proper plugs and sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as heaters, refrigerators or pipes. There is a risk of electric shock.
• Keep power tools away from moisture and rain. The risk of electric shock increases if water gets into power tools!
• Do not misuse the cable under any circumstances! Never carry the power tool by its cable. Do not hang it by the cable or do not pull the cable to disconnect the plug from the socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts! Damaged or entangled cable increases the risk of electric shock!
• If you operate the power tool outdoors, make certain to use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use. Using a cable suitable for outdoors reduces the risk of electrical shock.

Personal safety

• Ensure that you are always alert. Be aware of what you are doing and use common sense when working. Do not use a power tool if you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication, or are tired! Carelessness while using power tools may result in serious physical injuries.
• Always wear personal protective equipment and safety glasses when using the power tool. Wearing appropriate protective clothing, such as ear protection, safety glasses, safety shoes and helmet can reduce the risk of injuries, depending on the type and use of the power tool.
• Prevent the power tool from starting unintentionally. Always check whether the device is switched off before connecting it to the battery or the power supply, picking it up or carrying it. Accidents may occur if you keep your finger on the switch while carrying the tool or if you connect the power tool to the power supply when the tool is switched on.

• Remove any setting tools or wrench before switching on the power tool. Any tool or object left in a rotating part of the device may result in injuries.

• Always maintain a normal posture when using power tools and ensure that your footing is secure at all times and that you maintain your balance. This allows you to control the power tool better in unexpected situations.

• Always wear suitable clothing when using a power tool. Never wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves always away from moving parts.
  This type of clothing or hair can get caught in moving parts!

- If connecting attachments for dust extractors and collectors are available, they should be properly mounted and used. The use of dust extractors can reduce risks caused by dust.

Use and handling of power tools

- Never overload the power tool under any circumstances. Always use the appropriate power tool for your work. Working with the incorrect power tool reduces the safety considerably.
