5. Safety instructions
General power tool safety warnings
m WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or se-
rious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future ref-
erence.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operat-
ed (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
a.
Keep your work area clean and well-lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b.
Do not operate power tools in explosive at-
mospheres, such as in the presence of flam-
mable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
c.
Keep children and bystanders away while op-
erating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
a.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or ground-
b.
ed surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
Do not use the cable for another purpose, for
d.
example, carrying or hanging the power tool or
pulling the plug out of the socket.
Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving device parts. Damaged or coiled cables
increase the risk of an electric shock.
e.
If you work with an electric tool outdoors, only
use extension cables that are also suitable for
outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
f.
If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
a.
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 med-
ication.
A moment of carelessness when using electrical
tools can result in serious injuries.
b.
Wear personal protective equipment and al-
ways safety goggles.
Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, safety helmet or hearing pro-
tection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or rechargeable battery,
picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying electric tools with your finger on the
switch or connecting power tools to the power
supply when they are already switched on invites
accidents.
d.
Remove any adjusting tools or spanners/keys
before turning the power tool on.
A tool or spanner that is located in a rotating de-
vice part may result in injuries.
e.
Avoid abnormal postures.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unex-
pected situations.
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose
f.
clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
g.
If dust extraction and collection devices can
be mounted, make sure that they are connect-
ed and used properly.
Use of dust extraction can reduce dust-related
hazards.
