sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged
or tangled power cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
• If using the tool outdoors, only use an
extension cord approved for outdoor use.
Cords intended for outdoor use reduce the
risk of electric shock.
• If it is absolutely necessary to use power
tools in damp conditions, use a mains
connection protected by a residual current
device (RDC). Using an RCD reduces the
risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
• Stay alert. Pay attention to what you are
doing, and use your common sense when
working with power tools. Never use
power tools if you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention when using a
power tool can result in serious personal
injury.
• Use personal safety equipment. Wear
safety glasses. Depending on the type of
tool and how it is used, safety equipment
such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes,
safety helmets and ear protection reduce
the risk of personal injury.
• Avoid accidental starting. Check that the
power switch is in the OFF position before
plugging the power cord into the power
point, lifting it or moving it.
• Remove adjuster keys/spanners before
switching on the power tool. Spanners or
the like that are left in a rotating part of
the tool can cause personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm
footing and good balance, to ensure
better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear
loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose-fitting clothing,
jewellery and long hair can get caught in
moving parts.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
Read all the safety instructions and other
instructions. Failure to follow the safety
instructions and other instructions can result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal
injury. The term "power tool" in the safety
instructions refers to your mains-powered
(corded) or battery-powered (cordless)
power tool.
Work area
• Keep the work area clean and well lit.
Dark and cluttered work areas increase
the risk of accidents and injuries.
• Do not use power tools in explosive
environments, such as in the vicinity of
flammable liquids, gas or dust. Power
tools produce sparks that can ignite dust
and fumes.
• Keep children and onlookers at a safe
distance when using power tools. You can
easily lose control of the tool if you are
distracted.
Electrical safety
• The plug on the power tool must match
the power point. Never modify the plug in
any way. Never use an adapter with
earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets reduce the risk of
electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, cookers and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or
moisture. There is a greater risk of electric
shock if water gets into a power tool.
• Be careful with the power cord. Never use
the power cord to carry or pull the tool, or
to pull out the plug from the power point.
Keep the power cord away from heat, oil,
