5. 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
future consultation.
• The term "power tool" used in the warnings refers
to power tools that are connected to a source of
electrical energy (with an electrical cable)
1) Workplace safety
a. Keep your working area clean and well lit. Clutte-
red or dimly lit workspaces can lead to accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in areas where explosi-
ons could take place, or in which flammable liquids,
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 po-
wer 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 outlet.
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 appropriate out-
lets 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 bo-
dy is grounded.
c. Keep power tools away from rain or wet conditions.
Penetration of water into the power tool increases
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
corners or parts of the equipment that move. Da-
maged 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 reduces
the risk of an electrical shock.

f. If the power tool must be used in a damp environment,
use a residual current protective device. The use of
such a device reduces the risk of electrical shock.
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, alco-
hol or medicines. One moment of inattention while
using a power tool can result in serious injury.
b. Wear personal protective equipment and always
wear protective glasses. Wearing personal protec-
tive equipment, such as a dust mask, slip-free sa-
fety shoes, protective headwear or ear protection,
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 supply,
this behaviour can lead to accidents.
d. Remove the adjustment aides or the spanners be-
fore 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 ope-
rator 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 clothing, jewel-
lery or long hair can get caught in the moving parts.
g. If dust vacuums or catching systems can be ins-
talled 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.
b. Do not use a power tool where the switch is defec-
tive. A power tool that cannot be turned on and off
is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the wall outlet before you
make adjustments to the tool, change parts or put
the tool away. This precaution prevents inadvertent
start-ups of the tool.
d. Store power tools that are not in use out of reach of
children. Do not let anyone use the tool who does
not have experience with it, or who has not read
these instructions. Power tools can be dangerous
when they are used by inexperienced people.
e. Take good care of your power tools. Make sure that
movable parts function properly and do not jam,
see that parts which influence the use of the ma-
chine are not broken or damaged. Repair damaged
parts before operating the tool. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
