  Important!
 When using the equipment, a few safety pre-
cautions must be observed to avoid injuries and 
damage. Please read the complete operating 
instructions and safety regulations with due care. 
Keep this manual in a safe place, so that the in-
formation is available at all times. If you give the 
equipment to any other person, hand over these 
operating instructions and safety regulations as 
well. We cannot accept any liability for damage 
or accidents which arise due to a failure to follow 
these instructions and the safety instructions.
1. Safety regulations
 Caution!
Read all safety regulations and instructions.
Any errors made in following the safety regula-
tions and instructions may result in an electric 
shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety regulations and instructions 
in a safe place for future use.
 General safety instructions for electric tools
The term “electric tool” used in the safety inst-
ructions 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. Workplace safety
a)  Keep your work area clean and well illu-
minated. Untidy or unlit work areas can result 
in accidents.
b)  Do not operate the electric tool in an en-
vironment where there is a risk of explo-
sions and where there are infl ammable 
liquids, gases or dust. Electric tools produ-
ce sparks which could set the dust or vapours 
alight.
c)  Keep the electric tool out of the reach of 
children and other persons. If there is a 
distraction, you may lose control of the appli-
ance.
2. Electrical safety
a)  The connector plug from this electric tool 
must fi t into the socket. The plug should 
never be altered in any way. Never use ad-
apter plugs together with earthed electric 
tools. Unaltered plugs and correct sockets 
reduce the risk of an electric shock.
b)  Avoid bodily contact with earthed sur-
faces such as pipes, heating, ovens and 
fridges. The risk of electric shock is increa-
sed if your body is earthed.
c)  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.
d)  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.
e)  If you are working outdoors with an elec-
tric tool, only use extension cables which 
are designed specifi cally for this purpose. 
Using specially designed outdoor extension 
cables, the risk of electric shock is reduced. 
f)  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.
3. Safety of persons
a)  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 infl u-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A 
moment of inattention when using the electric 
tool can result in serious injuries.
b)  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 of injury.
c)  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 
fi nger is on the switch whilst carrying the elec-
tric tool or if you connect the appliance to the 
mains when it is switched on, this can lead to 
accidents.
d)  Remove keys and wrenches before swit-
ching on the electric tool. A tool or key 
which comes into contact with rotating parts 
of the appliance can lead to injuries.
e)  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
