a certain level of remaining risks which
cannot be excluded by the protective
mechanisms on the device. Only
operate electrical tools always with
necessary care.
Remaining risks may be, for
example:
• Touching rotating parts or tools.
• Injury caused by flying tools or tool
parts.
• Risk of fire with insufficient ventilation
of the motor.
• Adverse effects on the hearing
caused by working without ear
defenders.
The ability to work safely is dependant
on the familiarity of the operator when it
comes to handling the given electrical
tool. Appropriate knowledge of the
machinery and careful behaviour when
working help to minimise the remaining
risks.
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
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
