or tangled power cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
• If using the tool outdoors, only use an
extension cord approved for outdoor use.
Cords intended for outdoor use reduce the
risk of electric shock.
• If it is absolutely necessary to use power
tools in damp conditions, use a mains
connection protected by a residual current
device (RDC). 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 personal safety equipment.
Depending on the type of 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. Make sure the
power switch is in the OFF position before
inserting the battery or lifting/carrying the
tool. Carrying a power tool with your
finger on the switch, or connecting a tool
to the mains when the switch is in the ON
position, increases the risk of accidents
and injuries.
• Remove adjuster keys/spanners before
switching on the power tool. Spanners or
the like that are left in a rotating part of
the tool can cause personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm
footing and good balance. This ensures
better control over the power tool in
unexpected situations.
• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear
loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose-fitting clothing,
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
Read all warnings, safety instructions and
other instructions. Failure to follow all
the instructions and safety instructions
can result in the risk of electric shock, fire
and/or serious personal injury. Save these
instructions and safety instructions for future
reference.
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, gas 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
lose control of the tool if you are
distracted.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• The plug on the power tool must match
the power point. Never modify the plug in
any way. Never use an adapter with
earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching power points 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 tool, or
to pull out the plug from the power point.
Keep the power cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged
