General safety instructions
for power tools
WARNING! Read all safety
notices, instructions, illustra-
tions and technical data that
have been provided with this
power tool. Omissions in the
compliance with safety directions
and instructions can cause electrical
shock, fire and/or severe injuries.
Retain all safety directions and in-
structions for future use.
The term "Power Tools" used in the safety
instructions refers to mains-operated power
tools (with power cord) and to battery-op-
erated power tools (without power cord).

1) WORK AREA SAFETy

a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable
Iiquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETy

a) Power tool plugs must match
the outlet. Never modify the
plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodi-
fied plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with
earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to
rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never
use the cord for carrying, pulling
or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable,
use a RCD (Residual Current
Device) protected supply with
a rated leakage current of not
more than 30 mA. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) PERSONAL SAFETy

a) Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation. A moment of inattention white
operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
