Safety instructions

 WARNING 

  Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions 

listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power 
tool” in all of the warnings below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power 
tool, battery-operated (cordless) power tool, or petrol operated power tool.

 Save these instructions 
 Work area 

•  Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite 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 ignite the 
dust or fumes. 

•  Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions 

can cause you to lose control.

 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 influence 
of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power 
tools may result in serious personal injury.

•  Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as 

a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for 
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

•  Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the tool on. A wrench or 

a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in 
personal injury.

•  Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables 

better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

•  Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing 

and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be 
caught in moving parts.

•  If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection 

facilities ensure that these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices 
can reduce dust-related hazards.
