4. GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARN -
INGS
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure
to follow all warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all
warnings and instructions for future reference. The
term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains operated (corded) power tool or battery op -
erated (cordless) power tool.
4.1 Work area
•
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and
dark areas invite accidents.
•
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo -
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
English
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
•
Keep children and bystanders away while oper-
ating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
4.2 Electrical safety
•
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapt-
er plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Un -
modified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
•
Avoid body contract with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and re-
frigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
•
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi -
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
•
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car-
rying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
•
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
•
If operating a power tool on a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk
of electric shock.
4.3 Personal safety
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com -
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tried or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A mo -
ment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
•
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec -
tion. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hand hat, or hearing protection
used whenever conditions require will reduce per-
sonal injuries.
•
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off position before plugging in. Carrying pow -
er tools with your finger on the switch or plugging
in power tools that have the switch on invites ac-
cidents.
•
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn-
ing the power tool on. A wrench or a key left at -
tached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
•
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of these
devices can reduce dust related hazards.
