General safety instructions for power tools
Warning
Read all warnings and instructions.
Failure to apply all warnings and instructions can lead
to electrical shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all warnings and instructions handy for fu-
ture consultation.
The term "power tool" used in the warnings refers to
power tools that are connected to a source of electri-
cal energy (with an electrical cable)
1) Workplace safety
a.) Keep your working area clean and well lit. Clut-
tered or dimly lit workspaces can lead to acci-
dents.
b.) Do not operate power tools in areas where explo-
sions could take place, or in which flammable liq-
uids, gases or dust are present. Power tools can
create sparks, which can cause dust or fumes to
ignite.
c.) Keep children and bystanders away from the pow-
er tool when it is being used. Distractions could
cause you to lose control over the equipment.
2) Electrical safety
a.) The terminal plug of the tool must fit into the out-
let. The plug may not be modified in any way. Do
not use an adaptor plug together with grounded
power tools. The original plugs and the appropri-
ate outlets reduce the risk of an electrical shock.
b.) Avoid contact with grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, stoves and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electrical shock, if your
body is grounded.
c.) Keep power tools away from rain or wet condi-
tions. Penetration of water into the power tool in-
creases the risk of electrical shock.
d.) Do not use the cable for any purpose other than
that for which it was made. Do not use it to carry the
tool, hang it up, or to pull the plug out of the outlet.
Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp cor-
ners or parts of the equipment that move.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electrical shock.
e.) When operating the power tool outdoors, only
use extension cords that are suitable for outdoor
use. The use of an appropriate extension cord re-
duces the risk of an electrical shock.
f.) If the power tool must be used in a damp envi-
ronment, use a residual current protective device.
The use of such a device reduces the risk of elec-
trical shock.
Warning! This electric tool generates an electromag-
netic field during operation. This field can impair active
or passive medical implants under certain conditions.
In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly in-
juries, we recommend that persons with medical
implants consult with their physician and the manu-
facturer of the medical implant prior to operating the
electric tool.
3) Personal safety
a.) Be attentive, watch what you are doing and use
the power tool sensibly. Do not use power tools
when you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medicines. One moment of inat-
tention while using a power tool can result in seri-
ous injury.
b.) Wear personal protective equipment and always
wear protective glasses. Wearing personal pro-
tective equipment, such as a dust mask, slip-free
safety shoes, protective headwear or ear protec-
tion, depending on the type and use of a power
tool reduces the risk of injury.
c.) Avoid unintentional start-ups. Make sure that the
power tool is shut off before it is connected to the
power supply, or is carried. If you have your finger
on the switch of the tool while carrying it, or have
the tool turned on, or connected to a power sup-
ply, this behaviour can lead to accidents.
d.) Remove the adjustment aides or the spanners
before turning on the power tool. A tool or wrench
that is located in a rotating part of the machine,
can lead to injuries.
e.) Avoid abnormal posture. Make sure that the oper-
ator is standing firmly and can maintain balance.
This allows the operator to maintain control over
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f.) Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and
gloves away from the moving parts. Loose cloth-
ing, jewellery or long hair can get caught in the
moving parts.
g.) If dust vacuums or catching systems can be in-
stalled on the tool, make sure that these are cor-
rectly connected and assembled. The use of a dust
exhaust unit can reduce hazards caused by dust.
4) Use and treatment of the power tool
a.) Do not overtax the tool. Use the appropriate tool
for the work that is to be done. With the correct
power tool, you can work better and more safely.
