2.1. GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR THE TOOL
Warning
Read all the safety measures and all the instructions.
Failure to comply with the following
instructions risks causing electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Note
Retain all the safety measures and instructions for later reference.
The term "power tool" in the safety warnings refers to your battery-powered electric tool (without power cord).
2.1.1. WORK AREA SAFETY
1.
Keep the work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2.
Do not operate power tools in an explosive atmosphere, for example in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating the power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control of the tool.
2.1.2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1.
The power tool connector must be adapted to the socket. Never modify the connector in any way what-
soever. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and suitable
sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
2.
Avoid contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cookers, and refrigerators.
There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is in direct contact with the ground.
3.
Do not expose power tools to rain or damp conditions.
The entry of water into a power tool increases the
risk of electric shock.
4.
Do not mishandle the power cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
5.
Use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use when operating power tools outdoors.
Use a cord suitable
for outdoors to reduce the risk of electric shock.
6.
Use a power supply protected by a residual current device (RCD) when the power tool is operated in a
damp location.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Note
The term “Residual Current Device” (RCD) can be replaced by “Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter” (GFCI) or
“Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker” (ELCB).
