5. Safety instructions
General power tool safety warnings
mWARNING Read all safety information and in-
structions. Failure to observe safety information
and instructions can result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injuries.
Save all warnings and instructions for future ref-
erence.
The term "electrical tool" used in the safety instruc-
tions refers to mains-powered electrical tools (with
a mains cable) and battery-powered electrical tools
(without a mains cable).
Work area safety
• Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Clut-
tered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and other people away while us-
ing the electric tool. Distractions may cause you
to lose control of the device.
Electrical safety
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Nev-
er 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 grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water penetrating an electric device in-
creases the risk of an electric shock.
• Do not use the cable for another purpose, for
example, carrying or hanging the power tool or
pulling the plug out of the socket. Keep the ca-
ble away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
device parts. Damaged or coiled cables increase
the risk of an electric shock.
• 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.
• 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.

m WARNING! This power tool generates an electro-
magnetic field during operation. This field can impair
active or passive medical implants under certain cir-
cumstances. In order to prevent the risk of serious
or deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with
medical implants consult with their physician and the
manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operat-
ing the power tool.
Personal safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use an electric tool if 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.
• Wear personal protective equipment and al-
ways safety goggles. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, safety hel-
met or hearing protection used for appropriate con-
ditions will reduce personal injuries.
• 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. Keeping your
finger on the switch or having the device switched
on when you connect it to the power supply may
result in accidents.
• Remove any adjusting tools or spanners/keys
before turning the power tool on. A tool or span-
ner that is located in a rotating device part may
result in injuries.
• Avoid abnormal postures. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• 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.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a sec-
ond.
Power tool use and care
• Do not overload the device. 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.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that can-
not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
