5. Safety instructions
The safety rules in section 5.1 contain all general
safety rules for power tools which, in accordance
with the applicable standards, require to be listed in
the operating instructions. Accordingly, some of the
rules listed may not be relevant to this tool.
5.1 General Power Tool Safety Warnings
a)
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.
5.1.1 Work area safety
a)
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
b)
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, 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 oper-
ating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
5.1.2 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.
c)
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions.
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
extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
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.
5.1.3 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 personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c)
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off
‐
position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
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.
e)
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times.
This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
