General safety stipulations:
WARNING!
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
The term „power tool“ in all of the warnings listed below refers
to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operat-
ed (cordless) power tool, also machines and electric units.
Only use the power tool for the purpose for which it was
intended, with the due attention to the general safety and acci-
dent prevention regulations.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1.) Work area
a) Keep work area clean, tidy 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 surface
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3.) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce the risk of personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off
position before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plug-
ging in power tools that have the switch on invites acci-
dents. Never bridge the switch.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury. Always keep your
hands away from moving (rotating) parts.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in mov-
ing parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
