General safety instructions
for power tools
WARNING! Read all safety direc-
tions and instructions. Omissions
in the compliance with safety directions
and instructions can cause electrical
shock,  re and/or severe injuries.
Retain all safety directions and in-
structions for future use.
The term “Power Tools” used in the safety
instructions refers to mains-operated power
tools (with power cord) and to battery-op-
erated power tools (without power cord).
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well
lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite ac-
cidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of  ammable
Iiquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.

8
GB
c) Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
2) 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. Unmodi-
ed 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.
3) 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 inu-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation. A moment of inattention white
operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equip-
ment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appro-
priate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c) 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. Carrying power tools with
your nger on the switch or energising
power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the pow-
er tool on. A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This applies especially when
working on slopes. This enables
better control of the power tool in unex-
pected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.

9
GB
g) If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and prop-
erly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Walk when holding the device
in your hand. Do not run.
i) Do not touch any of the dange-
rous moving parts before you
have removed the battery and
all moving parts have come to a
complete standstill. There is a risk
of injury.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. 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.
b) Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and
off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or the bat-
tery pack from the power tool
before making any adjust
-ments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentaIly.
d) Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not al-
low persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check
for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less
Iikely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking
into account the working condi-
tions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for op-
erations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5) CAREFUL HANDLING AND USE
OF BATTERY DEVICES
a) Charge the batteries only in
chargers that are recommended
by the manufacturer. Risk of re if a
charger that is suitable for a specic type
of battery is used with other batteries.
b) In the power tools, use only the
batteries designed for the pur-
pose. The use of other batteries may
result in injuries and risk of re.
c) Keep the unused battery away
from paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws and other small
metal objects, which could
cause bridging of the contacts.
A short circuit between the battery con-
tacts may cause burns or re.
d) If used incorrectly, liquid may leak
from the battery. Avoid contact
with this. In the event of accidental
contact, rinse off with water. If the
liquid gets into eyes, seek medical

10
GB
assistance. Leaking battery uid may
cause skin irritations or burns.
6) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced
by a qualied repair person us-
ing only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety
of the power tool is maintained.

injury from cuts!
Clean and service the unit regularly as fol-
lows. This guarantees a long life for your
unit:
• Check the covers and guards for dam-
age and correct position. If necessary,
replace.
• Never operate the machine with defec-
tive guards or covers or without protec-
tion or with damaged or worn cables.
• Keep the ventilation slits, motor housing
and handles on the equipment clean. To
do this, use a damp cloth or brush.
• Always keep the blade clean.
After using the equipment, it is impera-
tive to:
- Clean the blade
(with an oily cloth);
- Oil the blade shaft
with an oil can or
spray.
• Slight notches on the blades can be
evened out. For this, sand down the
blades with an oil stone. Only sharp
blades can cut properly.
• Blunt, bent or damaged blades must
be changed.
We are not liable for damage caused by
the use of the unit if the original cause was
improper repair or the use of non-original
parts or through use other than that desig-
nated in this manual.
