5. General safety instructions
General power tool safety warnings
m WARNING!
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustra-
tions and specifications provided with this power
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 "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operat-
ed (cordless) power tool.
1. 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 of the power tool.
2. Electrical safety
a) The connection plug of the power tool must
fit into the socket. 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 elec-
tric shock.
b) 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.
c) Keep your electric tools away from rain and
moisture. Water penetrating an electric device
increases the risk of an electric shock.
d) 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 in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
e) 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.
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.
3. 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 inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
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 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, pick-
ing up or carrying the power tool. Carrying pow-
er tools with your finger on the switch or energising
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting tools or spanners/keys
before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
e) Avoid abnormal postures. Make sure that you
have secure footing and always maintain your
balance. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and cloth-
ing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jew-
ellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
