5. General safety information

WARNING - Read
m
instructions, illustrations and technical data for this
electric tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power 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).
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
b. Do not work with the electric tool in an explosive
environment where flammable liquids, gases or
dusts may be located. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and other people away while using
the electric tool. Distractions may cause you to lose
control of the device.
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. 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 electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. 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 cable
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
electric shock.
Personal safety
3.
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 medication. 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. Keeping your finger on the switch or having
the device switched on when you connect it to the
power supply may result in 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 connected and
used properly. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
