Safety
1. Workplace safety
a) Keep your work area clean and well lit. Untidy or unlit work
areas can result in accidents.
b) Do not use this power tool in an area where there is a risk of
explosion and where there are inflammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools generate sparks that can ignite dust or vapors.
c) Keep children and other people away from the power tool
while you are using it. If you are distracted you may lose con-
trol of the power tool.
2. Electrical safety
a) The plug on the power tool must fit into the socket. The sock-
et must not be modified in any way. Do not use adapter plugs
together with power tools with a protective earth. Unmodified
plugs and matching sockets will reduce the risk of an electric
shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, hea-
ting systems, stoves and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of suffering an electric shock if your body is earthed.
c) Keep the power tool out of the rain and away from moisture.
The ingress of water into an electric power tool increases the risk
of an electric shock.
d) Do not use the power cable for a purpose for which it is not
designed, for example to carry the power tool, hang it up or
to pull the plug out of the socket. Keep the power cable away
from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Power cables that
are damaged or tangled increase the risk of an electric shock.
e) If you use an electric power tool outdoors, use only extension
cables that are suitable for outdoor use. The use of an exten-
sion cable which is suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of an
electric shock.
f) If you cannot avoid using the power tool in a damp location,
Layout_DS_FSS_500_EX_UK_SPK7.indd 12Layout_DS_FSS_500_EX_UK_SPK7.indd 12 19.11.2020 15:15:2819.11.2020 15:15:28

13
Safety
use a residual current device (RCD) circuit breaker. The use of
a residual current device (RCD) circuit breaker will reduce the risk
of suffering an electric shock.
3. Safety of persons
a) Be careful, watch what you are doing and be sensible and
responsible when using an electric power tool. Never use the
power tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. One moment of inattention when using the elec-
tric tool can result in serious injuries.
b) Wear personal safety equipment and always wear safe-
ty goggles. Wearing personal safety equipment such as dust
masks, non-slip safety shoes, a helmet or ear muffs, depending
on the type and application of the tool, reduces the risk of injury.
c) Make sure that the tool cannot start up accidentally. Ensure
that the power tool is switched off before you connect it to the
power supply and/or connect the battery pack, pick it up or carry
it. If you have your finger on the switch while carrying the power
tool or if you connect the power tool to the power supply while it
is switched on, this may cause accidents.
d) Remove all adjusting tools or wrenches before you switch on
the power tool. Any tool or wrench in a rotating part of the pow-
er tool could cause injuries.
e) Avoid abnormal working postures. Make sure you stand
squarely and keep your balance at all times. This will enable you
to control the power tool better in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothes. Never wear loose fitting clothes or jewel-
lery. Keep hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose cloth-
ing, jewellery or long hair can be caught by moving parts.
g) If dust extraction devices and dust collection devices can be
fitted, they must be connected and must be used correctly.
The use of a dust extractor can reduce the dangers posed by
dust.

Safety
h) Do not allow yourself to be lulled into a false sense of securi-
ty and do not ignore the safety regulations covering electric
power tools, even if you are familiar with the power tool af-
ter having used it many times. Carelessness can lead to serious
injuries in just a fraction of a second.
4. Using and handling the power tool
a) Do not overload your power tool. Use the correct electric tool
for the job in hand. The correct tool will enable you to work better
and more safely within the specific performance range.
b) Do not use an electric power tool if the switch is defective. An
electric power tool that cannot be switched on or off is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Pull the plug out of the socket and/or remove the remo-
vable battery pack before making any adjustments to the
tool, changing plug-in tool parts or putting the power tool
down. These precautions will prevent the power tool starting
accidentally.
d) Keep unused electric tools out of the reach of children. Do
not allow people who are not familiar with the power tool or who
have not read these instructions to use the power tool. Electric
tools are dangerous if they are used by inexperienced people.
e) Look after power tools and plug-in tools with care. Check that
moving parts function correctly and do not jam, and whether any
parts are broken or damaged such that they adversely affect the
function of the power tool. Have damaged parts repaired before
you use the power tool. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained electric tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully maintained cut-
ting tools with sharp cutting edges will jam less and are easier to
control.
g) Use the power tool, plug-in tools, etc. as set out in these
instructions. Take account of the conditions in your work area
Layout_DS_FSS_500_EX_UK_SPK7.indd 14Layout_DS_FSS_500_EX_UK_SPK7.indd 14 19.11.2020 15:15:2819.11.2020 15:15:28

Safety
and the job in hand. Using electric tools for purposes other than
the one for which they are designed can result in dangerous
situations.
h) Keep the handles and grip surfaces dry, clean and free from
oil and grease. If the handles and grip surfaces are slippery, it
will not be possible to operate and control the power tool safely in
unforeseen situations.
5. Service
a) Have your power tool repaired only by trained personnel
using only genuine spare parts. This will ensure that your pow-
er tool remains safe to use.
