Safety regulations
mWARNING!
Always unplug the power plug prior to starting any of the maintenance
work described in this manual.
mWARNING!
The voltage must be the same as the voltage specied on the rating
plate.
Keep these regulations in a safe place!
1. WORK AREA
• Keep your work area clean and tidy. Disorder and insuciently illu-
minated work areas can lead to accidents.
• Do not use this tool in a potentially explosive environment containing
combustible liquids, gases or dust. Electric tools generate sparks,
which can in turn ignite dust or vapors.
• Keep children and other persons away from the electric tool while it
is being used. Allowing yourself to get distracted can cause you to
lose control of the tool.
2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Attention! The following basic safety measures must be observed
when using electric tools for protection against electric shock, and
the risk of injury and re. Read all these notices before using the
electric tool and keep the safety instructions for later reference.
• The tools connector plug must be able to t into the socket outlet.
Do not modify the plug in any way! Do not use adapter plugs in
conjunction with electrically grounded tools. Unmodied plugs and
matching socket outlets reduce the risk of an electric shock.
• Avoid touching grounded surfaces, such as those of pipes/tubes,
heaters, cookers and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
getting an electric shock if you are electrically grounded.
• Keep the tool away from rain and moisture/wet conditions. Pene-
tration of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric
shock.
• Do not use the cable to carry the tool, hang it up or pull the plug out
of the socket. Keep the cable away from sources of heat, oil, sharp

Safety regulations
edges and moving tool parts. Damaged or tangled cable increases
the risk of an electric shock.
• If you intend to use an electric tool outdoors, ensure that you only
use extension cable that is approved for outdoor applications. Using
extension cable that is approved for outdoor applications reduces
the risk of an electric shock.
• Connect the electric tool to the mains power supply (220 - 240 V~,
50Hz) via a socket-outlet with earthing contact. We recommend that
you t a residual-current protection device with a maximum nominal
tripping current of 30 mA. Seek the advice of your electrician.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY
• Be alert, work conscientiously and exercise appropriate caution
when using the electric tool. Do not use the tool if you are tired or
are under the inuence of drugs/medication or alcohol. One moment
of carelessness or lack of attention when using the electric tool can
cause serious bodily injury!
• Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety
goggles. Wearing personal protective equipment such as a dust
mask, non-slip footwear, protective headgear and ear-mus (de-
pending upon the type of electric tool and the particular application)
reduces the risk of sustaining injury.
»Wear ear-mus. The impact of noise can cause damage to hear-
ing.
»Wear safety goggles. Sparks generated during working or splin-
ters, chips and dust emitted by the device can cause loss of sight.
• Physically touching the switch with your nger when carrying the
tool or connecting the tool to the power supply switched on can lead
to accidents.
• Remove adjusting tools/wrench(es) prior to switching on the power
tool. A tool or wrench that is positioned inside a rotating power tool
part can cause injury.
• Do not overestimate your abilities. Make sure you stand squarely
and keep your balance at all times. This way, you will be able to
have better control over the tool in unexpected situations.

Safety regulations
• Wear suitable clothes. Never wear loose tting clothes or jewelry.
Keep hair, clothes and gloves away from moving parts. Loose cloth-
ing, dangling jewelry and long hair can be caught by moving parts.
4. CAREFUL HANDLING AND USE OF ELECTRIC TOOLS
• Do not overload your tool. Only use suitable electric tools to perform
your work. Using the right electric tool allows you to work better and
safer within the tool’s quoted capacity range.
• Do not use an electric tool whose switch is defective. An electric
tool that no longer can be switched on or o is dangerous and must
be repaired.
• Always pull the plug out of the socket outlet before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. This
precaution eliminates the possibility of inadvertently starting the tool.
• When not in use, store electric tools out of the reach of children. Do
not allow those persons to use this tool who are unfamiliar with it or
who have not read these instructions. Electric tools are dangerous
when they are used by inexperienced persons.
• Take good care of your tool. Check that moving parts properly func-
tion and do not jam, that parts are not broken o or damaged in any
way and that the tool can be used to its full capacity. Have damaged
parts repaired prior to using the tool. The cause of many accidents
can be traced back to poorly maintained electric tools.
• Use electric tools and plug-in tools, etc. in compliance with these
instructions and in the manner that is prescribed for the model at
hand. In so doing, pay due attention to working conditions and the
job to be performed. Using electric tools for applications other than
those intended can lead to dangerous situations.
• If the power cable of the electric tool is damaged, it must be re-
placed by a specially prepared connection lead which can be ob-
tained from the customer service center.
5. SERVICE
Have your tool repaired only by authorized specialists using original
replacement parts. This will ensure that your tool remains safe to use.
