5. Important information

General safety instructions for electric tools
m CAUTION: Read all safety regulations and in-
structions. Any failures made in following the safety
regulations and instructions may result in an electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety regulations and instructions in a
safe place for future use.
The term "electric tool" used in the safety instructions
refers to electric tools operated from the mains power
supply (with a power cable) and to battery operated
electric tools (without a power cable).
1 Workplace safety
• Keep your work area clean and well illuminated.
Untidy or unlit work areas can result in accidents.
• Do not operate the electric tool in an environment
where there is a risk of explosions and where there
are inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Electric
tools produce sparks which could set the dust or
vapours alight.
• Keep the electric tool out of the reach of children
and other persons. If there is a distraction, you may
lose control of the appliance.
2 Electrical safety
• The connector plug from this electric tool must fit
into the socket. The plug should never be altered
in any way. Never use adapter plugs together with
earthed electric tools. Unaltered plugs and correct
sockets reduce the risk of an electric shock.
• Avoid bodily contact with earthed surfaces such
as pipes, heating, ovens and fridges. The risk of
electric shock is increased if your body is earthed.
• Keep the tool out of the rain and away from mois-
ture. The ingress of water into an electric tool in-
creases the risk of an electric shock.
• Do not use the cable to carry the electric tool, to
hang it up or to pull it out of the socket. Keep the
cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges and mov-
ing parts of the appliance. Damaged or entangled
cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
