General Safety Directions
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, fi re and/or severe injuries.
Retain all safety directions and in-
structions for future use.
The term „power tool" in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool).
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well
lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
b) Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of fl ammable
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. Unmodifi ed plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of elect-
ric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed
or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and ref-
rigerators. 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 enter-
ing 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 De-
vice) protected supply. 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 infl u-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation. A moment of inattention white
operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equip-
ment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appro-
