5. Safety information

General safety information
Read all safety information and instructions.
Failure to observe safety information and instructions
can result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injuries.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term "electric tool" used in the safety instructions
refers to mains-powered electrical tools (with a mains
cable) and battery-powered electrical tools (without
a mains cable).
Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions may cause you to lose
control of the device.
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 matching 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 electric
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 use the cable for another purpose, for
example, carrying or hanging the power tool or
pulling the plug out of the socket. Keep the cable
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving device
parts. Damaged or coiled cables increase the risk
of an electric shock.
• If you work with a power tool outdoors, only use
extension cables that are also suitable for outdoor
use. Using an extension cable suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of an electric shock.
• If you cannot avoid using the electrical tool in a
wet environment, use a fault-current circuit breaker.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety
• 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 medication. A
moment of carelessness when using electrical tools
can result in serious injuries.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as
a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Keeping your finger on the switch or
having the device switched on when you connect
it to the power supply may result in accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A tool or spanner that is located
in a rotating device part may result in injuries.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
• If dust extraction and collection devices can be
mounted, make sure that they are connected and
used properly. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
• Do not overload the device. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any electric tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Remove the plug from the socket and/or remove
the battery before setting the device, changing
accessories or putting the device away. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and Do not let people use the device who are
not familiar with it or who have not read these
instructions. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
• Maintain the electric tool with care. Check whether
moving parts function properly and do not get stuck
and whether parts are broken or are damaged and
thus adversely affect the electric tool function. Have
damaged parts repaired before using the device.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
