General safety information for power tools

Warning! Read all safety-related infor-
mation and safety instructions! Failure
to observe the safety information and in-
structions may result in electric shock,
burns and/or severe injury.
Keep the safety information and instructions
for future reference.
The term 'power tool' as used in the safety infor-
mation and instructions includes both mains-op-
erated tools (with power cord) and battery-oper-
ated tools (without power cord).
1) Safety at the workplace
a) Keep your working area clean, tidy and
well-lit. Disorder and poorly lit working areas
may result in accidents.
b) Do not operate the power tool in poten-
tially explosive environments containing
combustible fluids, gases or dusts. Power
tools generate sparks that may ignite dusts
or fumes.
c) Keep children and other persons away
while you are operating the power tool.
Distractions may result in the operator loosing
control over the tool.
2) Electrical safety
a) The mains plug of the power tool must fit
into the mains socket. The plug must not
be modified in any way. Do not use adapt-
er plugs/connectors in combination with
tools with protective earthing. Unmodified
plugs and fitting sockets reduce the risk of
electric shock.
b) Avoid physical contact with earthed sur-
faces as pipes, heaters, ovens and refrig-
erators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed.
c) Keep the tool out of the rain or moisture in
general. The penetration of water into a pow-

environment cannot be avoided it is highly
recommended to use a residual current
device (RCD). The use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
apply reasonable care when working with a
power tool. Do not use the power tool when
you are tired or under the influence of med-
ication, drugs or alcohol. When working with
power tools, even a short moment of inatten-
tiveness may result in severe injury.
always wear eye protection (safety gog-
gles). Wearing personal protection equip-
ment as a dust mask, nonslip safety shoes,
safety helmet or ear protectors (depending on
the type and application of the tool) reduces
the risk of injury.
that the power tool is switched off before
you connect it to the mains supply and/or
the battery and whenever you pick up or
carry the tool. When carrying the tool with
your finger on the on/off switch or connecting
the tool to the mains supply with the switch
in 'ON' position, this may result in accidents.

injury.
