General safety instructions
for power tools
WARNING! Read all safety di-
rections and instructions. Omis-
sions in the compliance with safety
directions and instructions can cause
electrical shock, fire and/or severe
injuries.
Retain all safety directions and in-
structions for future use.
The term „power tool" in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) WORK AREA SAFETY

• Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable
Iiquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• 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 elec-
tric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed
or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and re-
frigerators. There is an increased risk

of electric shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
• 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 elec-
tric shock.
• When operating a power tool out-
doors, use an extension cord suit-
able 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 re-
duces the risk of electric shock.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

• 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 medication.
A moment of inattention white operating
power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
• Use personal protective equip-
ment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-po-
sition before connecting to power
