• Do not operate power tools in ex-
plosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable Iiquids, gas-
es or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away
•
while operating a power tool. Dis-
tractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

• 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. Unmodified plugs and match-
ing outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock
Avoid body contact with earthed or
•
grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
•
cord for carrying, pulling or unplug-
ging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or mov-
ing parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool out-
doors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are do-
ing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alco-
hol or medication. A moment of inat-
tention white operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
• Wear personal protective equipment
and always wear safety glasses.
Wearing personal protective equip-
ment such as nonslip safety boots, cut
protection trousers, a hard hat or ear
protection reduces the risk of injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-po-
sition before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the
switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or
•
wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
• Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Warning! During operation, this electric
tool generates an electromagnetic field
which, under certain circumstances,
may impair the functionality of active
or passive medical implants. To reduce
the risk of serious or lethal injuries, we
recommend that persons with medical
implants consult their doctor and the
