GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING. Read all safety warnings and instructions.
Failing to follow the warnings and instructions can result in an electric shock, a fire
and/or a serious injury.
Keep all warnings and all instructions to be able to refer to them later on.
The term “tool” in the warnings refers to your electrical mains powered tool (with power
cord) or your battery operated tool (without power cord).
1. Safety of the work area
a) Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate electric tools in explosive atmospheres, for example in the pres-
ence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Electric tools create sparks that can ignite the
dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating the tool.
Distractions can cause
you to lose control of the tool.
2. Electrical safety
a) The electric tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use adapters with earthed (grounded) tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid any body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radia-
tors, cookers and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a tool will increase the
risk of electrical shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
tool. Keep the cord away from heat, lubricants, edges and moving parts.
Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When using a tool outside, use an extension cable suitable for outside use.
Use of
a cord suitable for outside use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If use of a tool in a humid location is unavoidable, use a supply protected by a re-
sidual current differential device (RCD).
The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
3. Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the
tool. Do not use the tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alco-
hol or medication.
One moment of carelessness while using a tool can result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
