General Safety Instructions
Warning: Read all the instructions. Failure to adhere to the following instructions
may lead to electric shocks, fires and/or serious injury. The term “power tools” in
the warning text below refers to your handheld mains operated or battery operated
tool. Save this manual for future reference.
1) Work area
a) Keep the work area clean and well illuminated. Cluttered and poorly lit areas
invite accidents.
b) Do not use power tools in explosive environments, e.g. near to flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools generate sparks that can easily ignite dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and other bystanders away from the area where you are using
the power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose your concentration and control.
2) Electrical safety
a) The power tool’s plug must fit correctly into the wall socket. Never modify
the plug in any way. Never use an adaptor together with earthed power tools.
Unmodified plugs and suitable wall sockets decrease the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid physical contact with earthed objects, such as pipes, radiators, ovens or
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is earthed.
c) Do not expose the power tool to rain or other wet conditions. If water gets inside
a power tool it increases the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the mains lead. Never use the lead to carry the tool or pull the plug
from the wall socket. Keep the lead away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving
parts. Damaged or tangled leads increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When using power tools outdoors, use an extension lead that is suitable for
this purpose. The use of an extension lead designed for outdoor use decreases
the risk of electric shocks.
f) If for some reason you must use a power tool in a wet environment, always
connect it to the mains via an earth-fault circuit breaker such as an RCD
(residual current device). Using an RCD significantly reduces the chances of you
receiving an electric shock.
