d) Do not misuse the electrical cable, e.g. to
carry the appliance, suspend it in storage
or to pull the plug from the socket. Keep the
cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges and
moving appliance components. Damaged or
tangled cords and defective plugs increase the
risk of electric shock.
e) If you are working with an electric tool out-
doors, only use extension cables that are also
approved for use outdoors. The use of an
extension cord certifi ed for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
f) If the use of the electric tool in a humid envi-
ronment is unavoidable, use a fault current
circuit breaker. The use of a fault current circuit
breaker reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Safety of personnel
a) Be alert at all times, pay attention to what
you are doing and act sensibly when you are
using an electric tool. Do not use an electric
tool if you are tired or under the infl uence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. Even a simple
lapse of attention while using an electrical hand
tool is suffi cient to lead to serious injuries.
b) Wear personal protection equipment, and
always wear a pair of protective goggles.
Wearing personal protective equipment such as
a dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, protective
gloves, helmet or hearing protection, depending
on the type and use of the electrical tool, reduces
the risk of injuries.
c) Avoid unintentional operation of the appliance.
Ensure that the electric tool is switched off be-
fore connecting it to the power supply, pick ing
it up or carrying it. Carrying the electric tool
with your fi nger on the ON/OFF switch or con-
necting the appliance to the mains supply whilst
it is switched on can lead to serious accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting tools or spanners
before switching on the appliance. A tool or
wrench in a rotating appliance component can
cause serious injuries.
e) Avoid adopting an unusual posture. Ensure
that you position yourself securely and you
are balanced at all times. This gives you much
better control over the electric tool, especially in
unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose cloth-
ing, jewellery and long hair can be caught by
moving parts.
g) If dust extraction and collecting equipment
can be fi tted, ensure that it is attached and
used properly. The use of an extraction system
can reduce hazards caused by dust.
4. Use and handling of the electric tool
a) Do not overload the appliance. Use the correct
electrical tool for your work. With the correct
electrical tool, you will work better and more
safely within the specifi ed performance range.
b) Never use a handheld electrical tool with a
defective switch. An electrical tool that can no
longer be switched on or off is dangerous and
must be repaired.
c) Remove the plug from the socket before mak-
ing adjustments to the appliance, changing
accessories or putting the appliance into
storage. These precautionary measures prevent
accidental starting of the appliance.
d) Store unused electric tools out of the reach of
children Do not allow persons who are not
familiar with the appliance or who have not
read these instructions to operate the appliance.
Electrical tools are dangerous if used by
inexperienced persons.
e) Look after electric tools with care. Check
to see whether moving parts are functioning
correctly and are not jamming, whether
parts are broken or damaged and that the
functioning of the electric tool is not impaired.
Arrange for damaged components to be
repaired before using the appliance. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained
electrical tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges jam less often and are easier to control.
