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.
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.
Keep children and bystanders away while op-
c.
erating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control of the power tool.
2. 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.
e. If you work with a power 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.
3. 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
power 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 power tool. Carrying
electric tools with your finger on the switch or con-
necting 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 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. Wear suitable clothing. 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.
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.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
h.
of power tools allow you to become compla-
cent and ignore power tool safety principles.
A careless action can cause severe injury within a
fraction of a second.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not overload the product. 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.
