Important!
When using equipment, a few safety
precautions must be observed to avoid injuries
and damage. Please read the complete
operating manual with due care. Keep this
manual in a safe place, so that the information
is available at all times. If you give the
equipment to any other person, give them
these operating instructions as well.
We accept no liability for damage or accidents
which arise due to non-observance of these
instructions and the safety information.
1. Safety information
General safety instructions for electric
tools
 CAUTION: Read all safety regulations
and instructions. Any failures made in
following the safety regulations and instructions
may result in an electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Keep all safety regulations and instructions
in a safe place for future use.
The term “electric tool” used in the safety
instructions refers to electric tools operated
from the mains power supply (with a power
cable) and to battery operated electric tools
(without a power cable).
1.1. Workplace safety
Keep your work area clean and well
illuminated. Untidy or unlit work areas can
result in accidents.
Do not operate the electric tool in an
environment where there is a risk of
explosions and where there are
inflammable liquids, gases or dust.
Electric tools produce sparks which could
set the dust or vapours alight.
Keep the electric tool out of the reach of
children and other persons. If there is a
distraction, you may lose control of the
appliance.
1.2. Electrical safety
The connector plug from this electric
tool must fit into the socket. The plug
should never be altered in any way.
Never use adapter plugs together with
earthed electric tools. Unaltered plugs
and correct sockets reduce the risk of an
electric shock.
Avoid bodily contact with earthed
surfaces such as pipes, heating, ovens
and fridges. The risk of electric shock is
increased if your body is earthed.
Keep the tool out of the rain and away
from moisture. The ingress of water into
an electric tool increases the risk of an
electric shock.
Do not use the cable to carry the
electric tool, to hang it up or to pull it
out of the socket. Keep the cable away
from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving
parts of the appliance. Damaged or
entangled cables increase the risk of an
electric shock.
If you are working outdoors with an
electric tool, only use extension cables
which are designed specifically for this
purpose. Using specially designed outdoor
extension cables, the risk of electric shock
is reduced.
If operation of the electric tool in a
damp environment can not be avoided,
use a earth-leakage circuit-breaker. The
earth-leakage circuit-breaker reduces the
risk of an electric shock.
1.3. Safety of persons
Be careful, watch what you are doing
and use an electric tool sensibly. Do not
use the tool if you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention when
using the electric tool can result in serious
injuries.
Wear personal protection equipment
and always wear safety goggles.
Wearing personal protection (such as dust
masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmet
or ear protection, depending upon the type
and use of the electric tool) reduces the risk
Anleitung_RT_SD_3_6_Li_SPK7_GB:_ 30.07.2009 11:22 Uhr Seite 6

of injury.
Make sure that the appliance cannot
start up accidentally. Ensure that the
electric tool is switched off before you
connect it to the power supply and/or
insert the battery, or pick up or carry the
tool. If your finger is on the switch whilst
carrying the electric tool or if you connect
the appliance to the mains when it is
switched on, this can lead to accidents.
Remove keys and wrenches before
switching on the electric tool. A tool or
key which comes into contact with rotating
parts of the appliance can lead to injuries.
Avoid abnormal working postures. Make
sure you stand squarely and keep your
balance at all times. In this way, you can
control the electric tool better in unexpected
circumstances.
Wear suitable work clothes. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair,
clothes and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair
can get trapped in moving parts.
If vacuuming devices and draining
devices can be fitted, make sure that
these are correctly attached and
correctly used. The use of a dust
extraction system can reduce the danger
posed by dust.
1.4. Usage and treatment of the electric tool
Do not overload the appliance. Use the
correct tool for your work. You will be
able to work better and more safely within
the given performance boundaries.
Do not use an electric tool with a
defective switch. An electric tool that
cannot be switched on or off is dangerous
and must be repaired.
Pull the plug out of the socket and/or
remove the battery before making any
adjustments to the appliance, changing
accessories or put the appliance down.
This safety measure prevents starting the
electric tool unintentionally.
Keep unused electric tools out of the
reach of children. Do not allow people
who are not familiar with the appliance
or who have not read these instructions
to use the appliance. Electric tools are
dangerous if they are used by
inexperienced people.
Clean your electric tool carefully. Check
whether moving parts are functioning
properly and not jamming, whether
parts are broken or damaged enough
that the functioning of this electric tool
is affected. Have damaged parts
repaired before using the appliance.
Many accidents are caused by badly
maintained electric tools.
Keep your cutting tools sharp and
clean. Carefully maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges will jam less and
are easier to control.
Make sure to use electric tools,
accessories, attachments, etc. in
accordance with these instructions.
Take the conditions in your work area
and the job in hand into account. Using
electric tools for any purpose other than the
one for which they are intended can lead to
dangerous situations.
1.5. Service
Have your electric tool repaired only by
trained personnel using only genuine
spare parts. This will ensure that your
electric tool remains safe to use.
1.6. Careful handling and use of cordless
equipment
Ensure that the equipment is switched
off before you insert the battery.
Inserting a battery into an electric tool that is
switched on can cause accidents.
Only charge the batteries in chargers
that are recommended by the
manufacturer. A charger that is designed
for a certain type of batteries may pose a
fire risk if it is used with other types of
batteries.
Use only the correct batteries in the
electric tools. The use of other batteries
may result in injuries and a fire risk.
Keep unused batteries away from paper

clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and
other metallic objects that could cause
a short circuit between the contacts. A
short circuit between the battery contacts
may cause burns or a fire.
In case of incorrect use, fluid may
escape from the battery. Avoid contact
with it. If you touch it by mistake, rinse
the affected area with water. If you get
the fluid in your eyes, also seek medical
advice. Leaking battery fluid can cause skin
irritation or burns.
