SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!
Read these instructions carefully before use.
Failure to follow all the instructions below
can result in the risk of electric shock, fire
and/or serious personal injury.
WORK AREA
• Keep the work area clean and well lit.
Dark and cluttered work areas increase
the risk of accidents and injuries.
• Do not use power tools in explosive
environments, such as in the vicinity of
flammable liquids, gas or dust. Power tools
produce sparks that can ignite dust and
fumes.
• Keep onlookers, especially children, and
pets at a safe distance when using power
tools. You can easily lose control of the
product if you are distracted.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• The plug on the power tool must match
the power point. Never modify the plug in
any way. Never use an adapter with
earthed products. Unmodified plugs and
matching power points reduce the risk of
electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, cookers and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or
moisture. There is a greater risk of electric
shock if water gets into a power tool.
• Be careful with the power cord. Never use
the power cord to carry or pull the product,
or to pull out the plug from the power
point. Keep the power cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts.
Damaged or tangled power cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
• If the product is used outdoors, only use an
extension cord approved for outdoor use.
Cords intended for outdoor use reduce the
risk of electric shock.
• Only use an extension cord approved for
outdoor use.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert. Pay attention to what you are
doing, and use your common sense when
working with power tools. Never use power
tools if you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention or carelessness can result in
serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment. Wear safety
glasses. Depending on the type of power
tool and how it is used, safety equipment
such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes,
safety helmets and ear protection reduce
the risk of personal injury.
• Avoid accidental starting. Check that the
power switch is switched off before plugging
in the plug. Carrying a power tool with your
finger on the switch or connecting a tool to
the mains supply when the switch is in the
ON position increases the risk of accidents
and injuries.
• Remove adjuster keys/spanners before
starting the power tool. Allen keys, or the
like, left in a rotating part of a power tool
can cause personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm
footing and good balance. This ensures
better control over the power tool in
unexpected situations.
• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear
loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose-fitting clothing,
jewellery and long hair can get caught in
moving parts.
• If dust extraction and dust collection
equipment is available, this should be
connected and used correctly. The use of
such devices can reduce the risk of
dust-related problems. The product must
be connected to the mains with a residual
current device of max 30 mA.
