5. Safety instructions

⚠ WARNING!

Read all safety information and instructions, illustrations and technical data provided with this product!

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power 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).

General power tool safety warnings

⚠ WARNING!

This power tool generates an electromagnetic field during operation.

This field can impair active or passive medical implants under certain circumstances!

To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, we recommend that persons with medical implants consult their doctor and the manufacturer of the medical implant before operating the power tool!

5.1 Electrical safety

a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

5.2 Personal safety

a) 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.

b) Wear personal protective equipment and always safety goggles. Wearing personal protective equipment, such as a dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection, depending on the type of protection, depending on the type and use of the power tool, reduces the risk of injury.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or rechargeable battery, picking up or carrying the tool.

d) Carrying electric tools with your finger on the switch or connecting power tools to the power supply when they are already switched on invites accidents.

e) Remove any adjusting tools or spanners/keys before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

f) Avoid abnormal postures. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

g) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can be caught by moving parts.

h) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust extraction can reduce dust-related hazards.

i) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. Careless behaviour can lead-to serious injuries within fractions of a second .

j) Do not work with the appliance in rain, thunderstorms and especially not when there is a risk of lightning.

k) Keep extension cords away from dangerous moving parts to avoid damage to the extension cable.

5.3 Work area safety

a) Keep your work area clean and well lit! Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not work with the power tool in potentially explosive atmospheres containing flammable liquids, gases or dust! Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and other persons away when using the power tool! Distractions can cause you to lose control.

5.4 Power tool use and care

a) Do not overload the power tool! Use the appropriate power tool for your work! With the right power tool, you can work better and more safely in the specified power range!

b) Do not use a power tool if the switch is defective! Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the socket and/or remove a removable battery before making device settings, changing insert tool parts or putting the power tool away! This precautionary measure prevents the power tool from starting unintentionally tool.

d) Keep unused power tools out of the reach of children! Do not allow anyone to use the power tool who is not familiar with it or has not read these instructions! Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools and tools with care! Check whether moving parts are working properly and are not jammed, whether parts are broken or damaged in such a way that the function of the power tool is impaired! Have damaged parts repaired before using the power tool! Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools!

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean! Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges jam less and are easier to guide.

g) Use power tools, accessories, tools etc. in accordance with these instructions! Take into account the working conditions and the activity to be carried out! Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

h) Keep handles and grip surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease! Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
