Safety Instructions
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
Read all safety warnings, in-
WARNING
structions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below 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 bat-
tery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
English
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
u
or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive at-
u
mospheres, such as in the presence of flam-
mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools cre-
ate sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while
u
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
English
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
u
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed (groun-
ded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or groun-
u
ded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an in-
creased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
u
conditions. Water entering a power tool will in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
u
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or en-
tangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use
u
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
1 609 92A 7MF • 25.11.22
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location
u
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD re-
duces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
English
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
u
common sense when operating a power tool.
English
Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while op-
erating power tools may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always
u
wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat or hearing protection used for appropri-
ate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
u
switch is in the off-position before connect-
ing to power source and/or battery pack,
picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or en-
ergising power tools that have the switch on in-
vites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
u
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
u
balance at all times. This enables better con-
trol of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
u
or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jew-
ellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of
u
dust extraction and collection facilities, en-
sure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent
u
use of tools allow you to become compla-
cent and ignore tool safety principles. A
careless action can cause severe injury within a
fraction of a second.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
u
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
