• Never use the power cord to carry or pull
the power tool, or to pull out the plug
from the mains. 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 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 (RCD). 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. Always
wear safety glasses. Use a dust mask,
non-slip safety shoes, safety helmet and
ear protection, depending on the type of
power tool and how it is used.
• Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the
power tool is switched off before plugging
in the power cord and/or battery, or
lifting/carrying the tool. Do not carry the
tool with your finger on the trigger, or
plug the tool into a power point when it is
switched on; this can cause accidents.
• Always check that Allan keys/spanners etc.
have been removed from the power tool
before switching it on. Allen keys, or the
like, left in a rotating part of a power tool
can cause personal injury.
• Avoid standing in an awkward positions.
Always maintain a firm footing and good
balance. This will give you better control
over the tool in unexpected situations.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR POWER TOOLS
WARNING!
Read all the 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 all warnings
and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in all the warnings
below refers to mains-powered (corded) or
battery-powered (cordless) power tools.
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.
Distractions can cause you to lose control
of the tool.
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 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 an increased risk of
electric shock if water gets into a power tool.
