1. General Safety Instructions
Caution:
Read all instructions. Failing to adhere to the following instructions may lead to electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury. The term “power tools” in the warning text below refers to your handheld mains operated or
battery operated tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1) The work area
a) Keep the work area clean and well illuminated. Cluttered and poorly lit areas invite accidents.
b) Do not use power tools in explosive environments, e.g. near flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools generate sparks that can easily ignite dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and other bystanders away from the area where you are using the power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose your concentration and control.
2) Electrical safety
a) The power tool’s plug must fit correctly into the wall socket. Never modify the plug in any way. Never use
an adaptor together with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and suitable wall sockets decrease the risk
of electric shock.
b) Avoid physical contact with earthed objects, such as pipes, radiators, ovens or refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is earthed.
c) Do not expose the power tool to rain or other wet conditions. If water gets inside a power tool it increases
the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the lead. Never use the lead to carry the tool or pull the plug from the wall socket.
Keep the lead away from heat, oil, sharp edges and movable parts. Damaged or tangled leads increase
the risk of electric shock.
e) When using power tools outdoors, use an extension lead that is suitable for this purpose. Use of
an extension lead designed for outdoor use decreases the risk for electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Pay attention to your actions and use common sense when using power tools. Never use power tools if
you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. One moment of inattention while using
a power tool may result in serious injury.
b) Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses. Using protective clothing such as dust masks, non-
slip safety shoes, helmets and ear defenders when needed decreases the risk of injury.
c) Avoid accidental starts. Make sure that the power switch is set to
OFF
before plugging the tool into a wall
socket. Never carry a power tool with your finger on the trigger and never connect the power tool to a wall
socket when the switch is set to
ON
, since it may result in injury.
d) Remove all service tools/keys before switching on the power tool. A service tool forgotten on a rotating part
of the power tool may result in injury.
