6. General safety instructions
Attention! Read all instructions contained herein. Failure to
observe the following instructions may result in electric shock,
burns and/or severe injury. The term 'power tool' used in the
following includes both mains-operated tools (with electric
supply) and battery-operated tools (without electric supply).
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!
1) Working area
a) Keep your working area clean and tidy. Untidy and
poorly lit working areas may lead to accidents.
b) Do not operate the tool in potentially 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 when 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 charger must fit
into the mains socket. The plug must not be modified
in any way. Do not use adapter 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 surfaces as
pipes, heaters, ovens and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
c) Keep the tool out of the rain. The penetration of water
into a power tool increases the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Always pay attention to what you do and apply
reasonable care when working with a power tool.
Do not use the tool when you are tired or under the
influence of medication, drugs or alcohol. When
working with power tools even a short moment of
inattentiveness may result in severe injury.
b) Wear personal protection equipment and always
wear eye protection (safety goggles). Wearing
personal protection equipment as a dust mask, nonslip
safety shoes, safety helmet or ear protectors (depending
on the type and use of the tool) reduces the risk of injury.
c) Remove adjustment tools or wrenches and the like
before you switch the tool on. A wrench or another
tool that is inside or on a turning part of the tool may
cause injury.
d) Do not overestimate your abilities. Take care of a
safe footing and keep your balance at all times. This
will allow you to better control the tool in unexpected
situations.
e) Wear suitable clothes. Do not wear wide clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothes and gloves clear
of all moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long
hair may get caught in moving parts.
