General Power Tool Safety Instructions
WARNING
● Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future ref-
erence.
The term "power tool" in the safety instructions refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-op-
erated (cordless) power tool.
1 Work safety
a Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Untidy
or unlit work areas can lead to accidents.
b Do not operate power tools in explosive at-
mospheres, such as in the presence of flam-
mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c Keep children and bystanders away while op-
erating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control of the device.
2 Electrical safety
a 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.
b Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
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 influence of drugs, alcohol or med-
ication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b Use personal protective equipment and al-
ways wear safety goggles. Protective equip-
ment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropri-
ate conditions will reduce the risk of personal in-
juries.
c Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure that
the power tool is switched off before connect-
ing the power supply and/or battery pack,
picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or connecting
the power supply to a device that is already
switched on can lead to accidents.
d Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
e Do not overreach. Keep a firm footing and
maintain your balance at all times. This ena-
