5. General safety instructions
m WARNING - Read all safety information, instruc-
tions, illustrations and technical data for this elec-
tric tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future ref-
erence.
The term "electric tool" used in the safety instructions
refers to mains-powered electrical tools (with a mains
cable) and battery-powered electrical tools (without a
mains cable).
Work area safety
a. Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Clut-
tered 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
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Un-
modified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or ground-
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.
d. 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
cable 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
e.
use extension cables that are also suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock. Only use
approved and appropriately identified extension
cables for use outdoors. Only use cable reels in
the unrolled state.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current circuit
breakerwith a trigger current of 30 mA or less
to protect the power supply. Use of an RCD re-
duces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
a.
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.
Wear personal protective equipment and al-
b.
ways safety goggles. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, safety
helmet or hearing protection 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 al-
ready switched on invites accidents.
d. 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.
e. Avoid abnormal postures. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables better con-
trol of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. 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. When work-
ing outdoors, rubber gloves and anti-slip footwear is
recommended. Tie long hair back in a hair net.
