General Safety Instructions
for Power Tools
WARNING! Read all
safety notices, instruc-
tions, illustrations and
technical data that have
been provided with this
power tool. Failure to com-
ply with these and the follow-
ing instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or
serious injuries.
Save all safety instructions
and guidelines for the fu-
ture.
The term "power tool" used in
the safety instructions refers to
mains-operated power tools
(with a mains cable) and to
battery-operated power tools
(without a mains cable).
1) Occupational Safety
a) Keep your work area
tidy and well lit. Wor-
king in areas that are untidy
or without lighting can result
in accidents.
b) Do not work with the
power tool in a poten-
tially explosive atmos-
phere where flamma-
ble liquids, gases or
dust are present. Power
tools generate sparks that
can ignite dust or vapours.
c) Keep children and other
persons away from the
area while the power
tool is in use. Distractions
can cause you to lose con-
trol of the power tool .
2) Electrical safety
Caution: This is how to
avoid accidents and inju-
ries from an electric shock:
a) The plug of the power tool
must fit into the socket.
The plug must not be mo-
dified in any way. Do not
use adapter plugs with
power tools that have a
protective earth. Unmodified
plugs and matching sockets red-
uce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with
earthed surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, cookers
and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed.
c) Do not expose the power
tool to rain or wet condi-
tions. The penetration of water
into a power tool increases the
risk of electric shock.
d) Never use the power ca-
ble to carry or hang the
power tool or to pull the
plug out of the socket.
Keep the power cable
away from heat, oil,
sharp edges and moving
parts. Damaged or untidy po-
wer cables increase the risk of
electric shock.
e) If you are working out-
doors with the power
tool, only use extension
cables that are suitable
for outdoors. Using an ex-
