General safety instructions

ATTENTION! When using electric tools, the following fundamental safety measures
must be taken to prevent electric shock, injury or fire.
Read all of these instructions before you use the electric tool, and store the safety in-
structions properly.
Service and maintenance:
1 Regular cleaning, maintenance and lubrication. Always pull the electrical plug before any
adjustment, maintenance or repair.
2 Have your device repaired only by qualified experts and only with original replace-
ment parts. This ensures the continued safety of the device.
Working safely:
1 Keep your work area orderly. A messy work area can cause accidents.
2 Consider environmental influences. Do not expose electric tools to rain. Do not use elec-
tric tools in damp or wet environments. Keep the work area well lit. Do not use electric tools
where there is a risk of fire or explosion.
3 Protect yourself from electric shock. Avoid physical contact with earthed parts (such as
pipes, radiators, electric stoves or cooling devices).
4 Keep other people away. Do not let other people — especially children — touch the elec-
tric tool or its cable. Keep them away from the work area.
5 Store electric tools safely when they are not in use. Unused electric tools should be kept
in a dry, high or closed area, out of reach of children.
6 Do not overload your electric tool. Work is better and safer within the performance range
indicated.
7 Use the right electric tool. Don't use low-performance machines for heavy-duty jobs. Do
not use the electric tool for purposes for which it was not intended. For example, do not use
a portable circular saw for cutting tree branches or logs.
8 Wear proper clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as they can get caught in
moving parts. When working outdoors, wear slip-resistant shoes. Wear a hairnet over long
hair.
9 Use protective gear. Wear safety glasses. Wear a breathing mask during work that creates
dust.
10 Connect the dust extraction equipment. If there are connections to dust extraction and
collection equipment, make sure that they are connected and properly used.
11 Do not use the cable for purposes for which it was not intended. Never use the cable to
pull the plug from the socket. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.
12 Secure the work piece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the work piece firmly. They will hold it
more securely than your hand can.
13 Avoid abnormal postures. Make sure to stand securely and always keep your balance.
14 Maintain your tools with care. For better and safer work, keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Follow the instructions for lubrication and changing tools. Regularly inspect the elec-
tric tool's connection cable, and if it is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized expert.
Regularly check extension cords and replace them if they are damaged. Keep the handles
dry, clean and free of oil and grease.
