5. Safety information
General safety information
Read all safety information and instructions.
Failure to observe safety information and instructions can result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injuries.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "electric tool" used in the safety instructions refers to mains-powered electrical tools (with a mains cable) and battery-powered electrical tools (without a mains cable).
Work area safety
- Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
- Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
- Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions may cause you to lose control of the device.
Electrical safety
- Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
- Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
- Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
- Do not use the cable for another purpose, for example, carrying or hanging the power 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.
- If you work with a power tool outdoors, only use extension cables that are also suitable for outdoor use. Using an extension cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock.
- If you cannot avoid using the electrical tool in a wet environment, use a fault-current circuit breaker. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
- Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of carelessness when using electrical tools can result in serious injuries.
- Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
- Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Keeping your finger on the switch or having the device switched on when you connect it to the power supply may result in accidents.
- Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A tool or spanner that is located in a rotating device part may result in injuries.
- Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
- Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
- If dust extraction and collection devices can be mounted, make sure that they are connected and used properly. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
- Do not overload the device. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
- Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any electric tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
- Remove the plug from the socket and/or remove the battery before setting the device, changing accessories or putting the device away. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
- Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and Do not let people use the device who are not familiar with it or who have not read these instructions. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
-
Maintain the electric tool with care. Check whether moving parts function properly and do not get stuck and whether parts are broken or are damaged and thus adversely affect the electric tool function. Have damaged parts repaired before using the device. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
-
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
- Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Safety instructions for hammers
- Wear hearing protection. Excessive noise can result in a loss of hearing.
- Use the additional grips if these are supplied with the electric tool. Loss of control can lead to injuries.
- When performing work during which the tool attachment can meet with concealed power lines or its own mains cable, hold the device by the insulated gripping surfaces. Contact with a live power line can also electrify metal device parts and lead to an electric shock.
- Use the appropriate detection devices in order to detect hidden supply lines or consult the local utility company. Contact with electrical lines can result in fire and electric shock. Damage to a gas line can lead to an explosion. Penetrating a water pipe causes property damage or may cause an electric shock.
- Hold the electrical tool firmly with both hands and ensure firm footing. It is safer to guide the electrical tool with two hands.
- Secure the workpiece. A workpiece held with a clamping device or vice is held more securely than with your hand.
- Wait until the electrical tool has come to a standstill before setting it down. The tool attachment can get caught and this can lead to loss of control over the electric tool.
Keep the noise level and vibration to a minimum!
- Only use devices which are free of defects.
- Maintain and clean the device at regular intervals.
- Adapt your working methods to the device.
- Do not overload the device.
- Have the device checked if necessary.
- Switch the device off if it is not in use.
Wear gloves.
ATTENTION!
This power tool generates an electromagnetic field during operation. This field can impair active or passive medical implants under certain conditions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with medical implants consult with their physician and the manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operating the machine.
Residual risks
The machine has been built according to the state-of-the-art and the recognised technical safety requirements. However, individual residual risks can arise during operation.
- Health hazard due to electrical power, with the use of improper electrical connection cables.
- Before performing setting or maintenance work, release the start button and pull out the power plug.
- Furthermore, despite all precautions having been met, some non-obvious residual risks may still remain.
- Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety information" and the "Proper use" together with the operating manual as a whole are observed.
- Avoid accidental starting of the machine: the operating button may not be pressed when inserting the plug in an outlet. Use the tool that is recommended in this operating manual. This is how to ensure that your machine provides optimum performance.
- Keep your hands away from the work area, when the machine is in operation.
