Safety Notices

J A t t e n t i o n ! When using electric-powered tools

the following fundamental safety instructions

need to be observed for your protection against

electric shock, personal injury and the danger

of ﬁre.

Read and take note of these operating instruc-

tions and the safety advice contained therein

before using the appliance, and preserve them

for future reference.

Introduction / Safety Notices

6 GB/IE

Safety Notices

Non-observance of the following instructions

could cause an electric shock, ﬁre and / or serious

personal injury.

Workplace safety

J Keep your working area clean and tidy. Disorderly

and dark working areas can lead to accidents.

Ensure good illumination of the working area.

Untidy and poorly lit working areas can lead

to accidents.

J Do not work with the appliance in areas subject

to the danger of explosions, in which ﬂammable

liquids, gases or dusts are located. Electrical

tools produce sparks which could ignite the

dust or the vapours.

J

 Keep children and other third parties

at a distance when using electrical

tools.

If distracted, you could lose the control over

the appliance.

Electrical safety

Avoid mortal danger through

electric shock:

J The plug of the battery charger must ﬁt correctly

into the power socket. The plug may not be

altered in any way. Do not use adapter plugs

together with earthing-protected appliances.

Non-modiﬁed plugs and appropriate wall sock-

ets reduce the risk of electric shock.

J Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces,

such as pipes, heating elements, cookers and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed.

J



Protect the appliance from rain

and moisture.

The permeation of water into an electrical appli-

ance increases the risk of an electric shock.

J Do not misuse the power cable, e.g. to carry the

appliance, to hang it up or for pulling the plug

from the wall socket. Keep the cable away from

heat, oil, sharp edges and moving appliance

components. Damaged or tangled power cables

or plugs increase the risk of an electric shock.

Damaged appliances, power cables

and power plugs bring the risk of

fatal injury from electric shock.

J Regularly check the condition of the appliance,

power cable, power plug, if need be the charger

and the battery pack.

J Do not take appliances into use that have

damaged components. In a case of emergency,

immediately disconnect the power supply.

J Warning! - Never open the appliance.

Arrange for repair or component exchange work

to be carried out only by the Service Centre or

qualiﬁed electricians.

Safety of personnel

J Always be alert and be aware of what you are

doing. Use lots of common sense when working

with electrical appliances. Do not use such

appliances when you are unconcentrated or

tired, or under the inﬂuence of drugs, alcohol

or medications. Simply a few moments of inat-

tention in the use of an electrical appliance can

lead to serious personal injuries.

Always wear protective glasses when

working with the appliance.

J Do not overrate yourself. Ensure you have a

secure positioning and are in balance at all times.

You can thus control the appliance so much better,

especially in unexpected situations.

J Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing

or jewelery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves

away from moving components. Wear a hair net

if you have long hair. Loose and hanging clothing,

jewellery and hair can become caught up in fast

rotating appliance components.

General Safety and Usage

Instructions for Electric Tools

J Do not overburden the appliance. Use the elec-

trical hand tool that is appropriate for the work

to be done. You will work better and safer with

the correct tool being used within its predeter-

mined area of performance.

7 GB/IE

that moving appliance parts are functioning cor-

rectly and are not jamming, whether parts are

broken or damaged and that the functioning of

the appliance is not impaired. Arrange for dam-

aged components to be repaired before using

the appliance. Many accidents have their origin

in poorly maintained electrical hand tools.

J Use electrical hand tools, accessories or ancillary

components only in accordance with these in-

structions and in such a manner as is detailed

for the particular types of appliance. Take heed

of the operating conditions and the activities to

be performed. The use of electrical tools for pur-

poses other than their intended applications can

result in dangerous situations.

tions for Battery-Powered Tools

J Ensure that the appliance is switched off before

inserting the battery.

The insertion of a battery into an electrical

appliance that is switched on can lead to

accidents.

m Warning! Use exclusively the supplied battery

charger / battery pack. There is a risk of ﬁre if

the battery charger speciﬁed for a particular

type of battery is used with other batteries.

J In electrical hand tools, use only the battery

packs designated for them.

The use of other battery packs could lead to

personal injuries and an increased risk of ﬁre.

J The outer surfaces of the battery and / or the

hand tool must be clean and dry before being

connected to the charging device.

Improper utilisation leads to the risk of receiving

an electric shock, overheating or the the escape

of caustic ﬂuids from the battery.

m Warning! Should caustic ﬂuid escape from the

battery, avoid all physical contact with it! Should

you nonetheless come into contact with it, wash

it off thoroughly with water. If it gets into your

eyes, ﬂush them out with water and seek imme-

diate medical attention.

J Keep the unused battery well away from paper

clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other small

metallic objects which could potentially cause

a short circuiting of the contacts. A short circuit

between the battery contacts could cause burns

or a ﬁre.

mWarning! The battery pack must not be short

circuited. The result could be overheating, the

risk of a ﬁre or the bursting of the battery pack.

Therefore:

- Never connect a cable to the battery poles of

the battery pack.
