2.2 General safety instructions for
power tools
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and
all instructions.
Failure to follow the safety in-
structions and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and /
or serious injury. Keep all safety
instructions and directions for the
future.
The term "
power tool
" used in the safety
notes refers to power tools powered by the
mains (with mains cable).
2.2.1 Safety instructions for the
working area
Keep your working area clean and tidy.
Untidiness and unlit at the working areas
can lead to accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ig-
nite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control
of the equipment.
Do not leave the power tool to run unat-
tended.
Do not leave the power tool until it has
been switched off and completely stopped.
2.2.2 Electrical Safety
The plug of the equipment must match
the plug socket. Never modify the plug
in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs together with earthed equipment.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce the risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radi-
ators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
Keep the equipment away from rain, dirt
or humidity.
Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
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 cables increase the
risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for out-
door use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use re-
duces the risk of electric shock.
If the operation of the power tool is not
possible in a humid environment, use a
ground fault interrupter (FI).
The use of a ground fault interrupter re-
duces the risk of electric shock.
2.2.3 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 influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
