2.2 Safety advice
WARNING!
General safety advice for electrical tools
Read all safety advice, instructions, figures, and technical
data accompanying this electrical tool. Non-compliance
with the following instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or severe injuries.
The term "electrical tools" as used in this safety advice relates to mains-
operated electrical tools (with power cable) and battery-operated elec-
trical tools (without power cable).
Retain all safety advice and instructions for future reference.
a) Keep your working area clean and well lit. Untidy and badly lit
working areas pose an accident hazard.
b) Do not use the electrical tool in potentially explosive areas where
flammable fluids, gases or dusts are present. Electrical tools generate
sparks which may cause the dust or vapours to ignite.
c) Keep children and other persons away while you use the electrical
tool. If you are distracted, you may lose control of the tool.
a) The connection plug of the electrical tool must match the socket. Do
not use adapter plugs in combination with electrical tools with protec-
tive earthing. Unmodified plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of
electric shock.
1) Safety workplace
2) Electrical safety
Product information

b) Do not touch earthed surfaces, for example of pipes, heaters,
cookers, and fridges. Increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed.
c) Keep electrical tools out of the rain and protect them from moisture.
Increased risk of electric shock if water gets into an electrical tool.
d) It is forbidden to use the cable to carry the electrical tool or hang it
up, or to remove the plug from the socket by pulling at the cable. Keep
the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving equipment parts.
Damaged or tangled connection cables increase the risk of electric
shock.
e) When using electrical tools out of doors, only use extension cables
suitable for out-of-door use. Using extension cables suitable for out-of-
door use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If you cannot avoid using the electrical tool in a damp environment,
use a residual-current circuit breaker. Using a residual-current circuit
breaker reduces the risk of electric shock.
a) When working with an electrical tool, be attentive, mind what you are
doing, and use your common sense. Do not use an electrical tool when
you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
When using an electrical tool, one second of carelessness may result in
severe injury.
b) Wear personal protective equipment. Always wear protective glasses.
Depending on the type and application of the electrical tool, you can
reduce the risk of injury by wearing personal protective equipment such
as dust mask, anti-slip safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection.
c) Avoid accidental startup of the electrical tool. Ensure that the elec-
trical tool is switched off before you connect it to the mains and/or the
battery, take it in your hands or carry it. Having your finger on the switch
while you carry the electrical tool, or connecting it to the mains while it
is switched on may result in accidents.
d) Before switching the electrical tool on, remove adjusting tools or fork
spanners. An adjusting tool or wrench in a rotating device component
may cause injuries.
e) Avoid abnormal body postures. Ensure safe footing and a good bal-
ance at all times. This helps you to control the electrical tool if an unex-
pected situation occurs.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
hair, clothes and gloves away from moving components. Loose
clothing, jewellery or long hair may get caught in moving components.
g) If the tool is equipped for the connection of dust extraction and col-
lection devices, ensure that these devices are mounted and are used
properly. Using dust extraction may reduce the hazards posed by dust.
3) Safety of persons

a) Do not overload the tool. Use the electrical tool intended for the task
you are doing. For better results and more safety, use the appropriate
electrical tool in the specified power range.
b) Do not use an electrical tool with a defective switch. An electrical tool
which cannot be switched on or off is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Pull the plug from the socket and/or remove the battery before
adjusting the device settings, changing accessories or putting the tool
away. This precaution prevents accidental startup of the electrical tool.
d) When not in use, electrical tools must be stored out of the reach of
children. Do not allow persons the use of the tool who are not familiar
with it and who have not read these instructions. Electrical tools are
dangerous if used by inexperienced persons.
e) Maintain the electrical tool carefully. Check whether moving tool com-
ponents work smoothly and are not jammed, whether parts are broken
or damaged in such a way that the proper function of the electrical tool
is impaired. Have damaged components repaired before using the elec-
trical tool. A lot of accidents are caused by improper maintenance of
electrical tools.
f) Use electrical tools, accessories, tool bits etc. as specified in these
instructions. Take the working conditions and the task at hand into con-
sideration. Using electrical tools for other than the intended use may
result in dangerous situations.
a) To charge the batteries, only use the chargers recommended by the
manufacturer. Chargers intended for a certain type of batteries pose a
fire risk if used for other batteries.
b) To power the electrical tool, only use the batteries intended for the
respective tool. Using other batteries poses a risk of injury and fire.
c) When not in use, keep the battery away from paperclips, coins, keys,
nails, screws or other small metal objects which might make a connec-
tion from one contact to the other. Short-circuits between the battery
contacts may result in burn injuries or fire.
d) Misuse may result in fluid leaking from the battery. Avoid any contact
with battery fluid. Rinse with water after any accidental contact. If bat-
tery fluid gets into your eyes, rinse with water and seek medical advice.
Leaking battery fluid may cause skin irritation or burn injuries.
a) Only commission qualified experts to repair your electrical tool, and
have them use original spare parts at all times. This ensures that your
tool remains safe.
