General safety instructions for power tools
Warning: Read all the instructions. Failure to adhere to the following instructions may
lead to electric shocks, fires or serious injuries.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
The term "power tools" in the following warning text refers to your handheld mains
operated or battery operated tool.
1) Work area
a) Keep the work area clean and well illuminated. Cluttered and poorly lit areas invite
accidents.
b) Do not use power tools in explosive environments, e.g. near to flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools generate sparks that can easily ignite dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and other bystanders away from the area where you are using
the power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose concentration and control.
2) Electrical safety
a) The power tool's plug must fit correctly into the wall socket. Never modify the plug
in any way. Never use an adaptor together with earthed power tools. Unmodified
plugs and suitable wall sockets minimize the risk of electric shocks.
b) Avoid physical contact with earthed objects such as pipes, radiators, ovens and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of receiving an electrical shock if your body
is earthed.
c) Do not expose the power tool to rain or other wet conditions. If water gets inside
the power tool, it increases the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the mains lead. Never use the lead to carry the tool or pull the plug
from a wall socket. Keep the lead away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving
parts. Damaged or tangled leads increase the risk of electric shock.
