Safety

General Safety Requirements – EN 60745-1
Caution: Read all instructions. Failing to adhere to the following instructions may lead to
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tools" in the warning text below
refers to your handheld mains operated or battery operated tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
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 your 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 decrease the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid physical contact with earthed objects, such as pipes, radiators, ovens or
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is earthed.
c) Do not expose the power tool to rain or other wet conditions. If water gets inside
a 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
the wall socket. Keep the lead away from heat, oil, sharp edges and movable parts.
Damaged or tangled leads increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When using power tools outdoors, use an extension lead that is suitable for this purpose.
Use of an extension lead designed for outdoor use decreases the risk for electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) Pay attention to what you are doing and use common sense when using power tools.
Never use power tools if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. One moment of inattention while using a power tool may result in
serious injury.
b) Wear protective clothing. Always wear safety glasses. Using protective clothing such
as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, helmets and ear defenders when needed
decreases the risk of injury.
c) Avoid accidental starts. Make sure that the power switch is set to OFF before
connecting the device to a wall socket. Never carry a power tool with your finger on
the trigger and never connect the power tool to a wall socket when the switch is set
to ON, since it may result in injury.
