General Safety Directions 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.
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well
•
lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite ac-
cidents.
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.
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. Unmodi-
fied plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock
Avoid body contact with
•
earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an in-
creased 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 electric shock.
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.
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.
• Where possible, connect the equip-
ment only to a plug socket with a leak-
age-current-operated circuit breaker
(FI switch), with a rated current of not
more than 30 mA. Fuse: at least 13 A.
• If the supply cord of this power tool
is damaged, it must be replaced by
a specially prepared cord available
through the service organization.
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 influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation. A moment of inattention white
operating power tools may result in
