WARNING! During operation, this
power tool generates an
electro magnetic field. This field may,
under certain circumstances,
influence active or passive medical
implants. In order to reduce the risk of
serious or deadly injuries, we
recommend persons with such a
medical implant to consult their doctor
and the manufacturer of the medical
implant before using the power tool.
5 – General safety
instructions for handling
power tools
WARNING! Read all safety
warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings
refers to your mains operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
1 Work area
a Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.
b Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
44
control.
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. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
b Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded 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 conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of
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 increase 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 it is not possible to avoid using
the electrical tool in a damp
environment, use a residual current
circuit-breaker. The use of a residual
current circuit-breaker reduces the
risk of an electrical shock.
3 Personal safety
a Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use
