Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term „power tool“ in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Residual risks

Danger of injury !
Electrical residue risk
Direct/indirect electrical contact may lead to electric shock. The appliance is to be operated only in electrical networks with protective RCD.

Thermal residual risks
Burns; Touching the protective grille or housing body can cause burns. Avoid these parts.
Despite compliance with all relevant building regulations, there still can be some threats during operation.

Work area safety

1. Keep work area clean and well lit.  Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Electrical safety

1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (groundepower tools.  Unmo-dified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2.  Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.  There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.  Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4.  Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.  Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock..
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.  Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.  A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

Power tool use and care

1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.  The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.  Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.  Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.  Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
   in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.  Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

by material defect or manufacturing defect. Original payment voucher with the sales date needs to be submitted for any claim in the guarantee period.
The guarantee does not cover any unauthorised
use such as appliance overloading, use of violence, damage as a result of any unauthorised interference or caused by foreign items. Failing to follow the operating and assembly instructions and common wear are also not included in the guarantee.

Disposal

Disposal notes are based on the icons placed on the machine or on its package.

Do not put electrical appliances to household waste – use collection centres in your town. Ask the municipality authorities where such collection centres can be found. If electrical appliances are disposed in an uncontrolled manner, ha-zardous substances can get into ground water through the weather and – as a result – penetrate the food chain or poison the flora and fauna for a number of years. When the appliance is to be changed for a new one, the seller is legally obliged to accept the old appliance, at least for free disposal.

Transport packaging disposal
The packaging protects the machine against damage during transport. Packaging materials are usually chosen based on environment aspects and waste treatment principles and are therefore recyclable. Re-turning the packaging into material circulation saves raw materials and reduces waste production. Parts of packagings (e.g. foils, styropor®) can be dangerous for children.

Risk of suffocation!Keep the packaging out of reach of children and dispose them as quickly as possible.
