General safety instructions
Read all the instructions and safety instructions carefully before use. Failure to follow all the
instructions and safety instructions can result in the risk of electric shock and/or serious personal
injury.
The term "power tool" in all the warnings below refers to your mains-powered (corded) or battery-
powered (cordless) power tool.
Work area
Keep the work area clean and well lit. Dark and cluttered work areas increase the risk of accidents
and injuries.
Do not use power tools in explosive environments, such as in the vicinity of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools produce sparks that can ignite dust and fumes.
Keep children and onlookers at a safe distance when using power tools. You can easily lose
control of the tool if you are distracted.
Electrical safety
The mains plug on the power tool must match the mains outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Never use an adapter with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets reduce the
risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
Do not expose power tools to rain or moisture. There is a greater risk of electric shock if water gets
into a power tool.
Be careful with the power cord. Never use the power cord to carry or pull the power tool, or to pull
out the plug from the mains socket. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and
moving parts. Damaged or tangled power cords increase the risk of electric shock.
If using outdoors, only use an extension cord approved for outdoor use. Unsuitable extension cords
can cause a fire and/or electric shock.
The tool must be connected to the mains via a residual current device if used in damp areas to
reduce the risk of electric shock. Using an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert. Pay attention to what you are doing, and use your common sense when working with
power tools. Never use power tools if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention when using a power tool can result in serious personal injury.
Use suitable safety equipment. Wear safety glasses. Depending on the type of power tool and how
it is used, safety equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets and ear
protection reduce the risk of personal injury.
Avoid accidental starting. Check that the power switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the
power cord and/or the battery, or lifting/carrying the tool. Carrying a power tool with your finger on
the switch, or connecting a tool to the mains supply when the switch is in the ON position,
increases the risk of accidents and injuries.
Remove Allen keys/spanners etc. before starting the power tool. Allen keys, or the like, left in a
rotating part of a power tool can cause personal injury.
