• 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 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 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 or carelessness
can result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal safety equipment. Wear
safety glasses or a visor. 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. Check that the
power switch is in the OFF position before
plugging in the plug or 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 adjuster keys/spanners before
switching on the power tool. Spanners or
the like that are left in a rotating part of
the power 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.
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 onlookers, especially children, at a
safe distance when using power tools. You
can easily lose control of the power 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.
