• Adverse effects to hearing caused
by working without hearing
protectors.
• Lung damage caused by dust if
no dust protection mask is worn
when carrying out work that
generates dust.
The ability to work safely is
dependent on the familiarity of the
operator when handling the given
electrical tool! Appropriate
knowledge of the machinery and
careful behaviour when working
help to minimise the remaining
risks.
Warning! During ope ra -
tion, this power tool
generates an electro -
magnetic field. This field may,
under certain circumstances,
influence active or passive
medical implants. In order to
reduce the risk of serious or
deadly injuries, we recommend
that persons with such a medical
implant consult their doctor and
the manufacturer of the medical
implant before using the

5 – General safety
instructions for handling
power tools
WARNING! Read all
safety warnings and all
instructions.
Failure to
follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and
instructions for future
reference.
The term “power tool” in the
warnings refers to your mains
operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power
tool.
1 Work area
a
Keep work area clean and well
lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.
b
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.
c
Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power
tool.
Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
2 Electrical Safety
a
Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools.
Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
b
Avoid body contact with
earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators.
There is an
increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
