5 GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Attention ! Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to heed warnings
and follow instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep safety warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the safety warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
5.1 Working area
ƒ
Keep working area clean and well lit . Untidy and dark areas can lead to
accidents.
ƒ
Do not operate power tools in potentially explosive surroundings, for
example, in the presence of inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
ƒ
Keep children and bystanders at a distance when operating a power
tool . Distractions can cause you to lose control of it.
5.2 Electrical safety
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage
on the rating plate.
ƒ
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed power tools .
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of a lethal electric
shock.
ƒ
Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
kitchen ranges and refrigerators . There is an increased risk of a lethal
electric shock if your body is earthed.
ƒ
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If water gets
inside a power tool, it will increase the risk of a lethal electric shock.
ƒ
Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts . Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of a
lethal electric shock.
ƒ
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable
suitable for outdoor use . Using a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of a lethal electric shock.
