Electrical Safety
- The plug of the power tool must fit into the socket. The cap must not be changed in any way. Do
not use adapter plugs together with grounded power tools. Unchanged plugs and suitable sockets
reduce
the risk of electric shock.
- Avoid physical contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, heaters, stoves, and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
- Keep power tools away from rain or moisture. The penetration of water into a power tool increases
the risk of electric shock.
- Do not use the cable to carry or hang up the power tool or to pull the plug from the socket. Keep
the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or tangled cables increase the
risk of electric shock.
- If you use a power tool outdoors, only use extension cables that are suitable for outdoor use. The
use of an extension cable
ideal for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
- If you use a power tool outdoors, only use extension cables that are suitable for outdoor use. The
use of an extension cable
ideal for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
Safety of Persons
- Be alert, pay attention to what you are doing, and use common sense when working with a power
tool. Do not use a power tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while utilizing the power tool can cause serious injury.
- Wear personal protective equipment and always protective goggles. Wearing personal protective
equipment, such as dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmet or hearing protection,
depending on the type and use of the power tool reduces the risk of injury.
- Avoid unintentional commissioning. Make sure that the power tool is switched off before
connecting it to the power supply and/or battery, picking it up or carrying it. If you have your finger
on the switch when carrying the power tool
or if you connect the device to the power supply while it is switched on, this can lead to accidents.
- Remove adjustment tools or wrenches before turning on the power tool. A tool or key that is in a
rotating part of the device
can cause injury.
- Avoid an abnormal posture. Make sure you have a secure
footing and keep your balance at all times. This allows you to better control the power tool in
unexpected situations.

- Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair can be caught by moving parts.
Use and treatment of the power tool
- Do not overload the device. Use the appropriate power tool for your work. With the right power
tool, you will work better and safer in the specified power range.
- Do not use a power tool with a defective switch. A power tool that can no longer be switched on or
off is dangerous and must be repaired.
- Unplug the power cord and/or remove the battery before making any adjustments to the device,
changing accessories, or putting the device away. This precaution prevents unintentional starting of
the power tool.
- Keep unused power tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow persons to use the device which
is not familiar with it or have not read
these instructions. Power tools are dangerous if they are used by inexperienced persons.
- Maintain power tools with care. Check that moving parts function correctly and do not jam, that
parts are not broken or damaged in such a way that the function
of the power tool is impaired. Have damaged parts repaired before using the device. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges jam less and are easier
to guide.
- Use power tools, accessories, insertion tools, etc. according to these instructions. Take into account
the working conditions and the job to be performed. The use of power tools for applications other
than those intended can
lead to dangerous situations.
Use and handling of the cordless tool
- Charge the batteries only with chargers recommended by the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for a particular type of battery poses a fire hazard when used with other batteries.
- Only use the batteries provided in the power tools. Using other batteries may result in personal
injury and fire hazards.
- Keep the unused battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal
objects that could cause the contacts to bridge. A short circuit between the battery contacts can
