General Safety Information for
Power Tools
WarnIng! Read all safety infor-
mation and instructions. Failure
to adhere to the safety informa-
tion and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious
injuries..
The term „power tool" in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
Keep all safety information and in-
structions for future reference.
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit.
•
Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
Do not operate power tools in ex-
•
plosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable Iiquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
•
Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.

Electrical safety
CAUTION! The following states
how to avoid accidents and injuries
due to electric shock:
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 match-
ing outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock
Avoid body contact with earthed or
•
grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain
•
or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
•
Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord for carrying, pulling or un-
plugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entan-
gled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
•
When operating a power tool out-
doors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
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.
•
Connect the equipment to a plug
socket with a leakage-current-operat-
ed circuit breaker (FI switch), with a
rated current of not more than 30 mA.
