instructions for power
tools
WARNING!
Read all safety instruc-
tions, instructions, illus-
trations and technical
data that are provided
with this power tool.
Failure to comply with the
following instructions can
lead to an electric shock,
fire and/or series injuries.
■
Keep all safety instruc-
tions and other instruc-
tions for future refer-
ence.
The term "power tool" used in
the safety instructions refers to
mains-operated power tools
(with mains line) and to battery-
operated power tools (without
mains line).
3.1.1 Electrical safety
■
Avoid physical contact with
earthed surfaces such as
on pipes, heaters, cookers
and refrigerators.
There is
an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed.
■
Keep electrical tools out of
the rain and away from
moisture.
Water getting into
an electrical tool increases the
risk of an electric shock.
3.1.2 Personal safety
■
Be alert, pay attention to
what you are doing and take
a cautious approach to
working with a power tool.
Do not use a power tool if
you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol
or medicines.
A moment's in-
attentiveness when using the
power tool can result in seri-
ous injury.
■
Wear personal protective
equipment, and always use
safety goggles.
The injury
risk can be reduced by wear-
ing personal protective equip-
ment such as a dust mask,
non-slip shoes, a protective
helmet or ear defenders, de-
pending on the type and ap-
plication of the power tool.
■
Avoid starting to operate
the appliance inadvertently.
Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before connect-
ing to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or
carrying the power tool.
Ac-
cidents can be caused by
leaving your finger on the
switch when you carry the
power tool or when you con-
nect it to the power supply.
