5. General power tool safety warnings

Warning! Read all safety information and instruc-
tions! Failure to observe safety information and in-
structions can result in electric shock, fire and/or se-
rious injuries.
Save all warnings and instructions for future ref-
erence.
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
a.) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite 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.
Electrical safety
a.) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Nev-
er 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.
b.) 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.
c.) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.

d.) 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 ca-
ble away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
device parts. Damaged or coiled cables increase
the risk of an electric shock.
e.) 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.
f.) 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 elec-
tric shock.
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 carelessness when using
electrical tools can result in serious injuries.
b.) 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.
c.) 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. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
d.) 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.
e.) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f.) 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.
g.) If dust extraction and collection devices can
be mounted, make sure that they are connect-
ed and used properly. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
