2.2 General Power Tool Safety
Warnings
WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instructions,
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 battery
operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explo-
sive atmospheres, such as in the pres-
ence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool. Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
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.
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.
Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplug-
ging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or mov-
ing parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for out-
door use. Use of a cord suitable for out-
door use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a residu-
al current appliance (RCD) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk
of electric shock.
Personal safety
Use the appliance as intended!
Work only within the specified perform -
ance range.
Before each use, make sure that the
appliance is in perfect condition;
operation is prohibited if:
- the appliance shows visible signs of
damage.
- the appliance may have been
dropped before.
Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operat-
ing a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medica-
tion. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protec-
tion used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
Prevent
unintentional
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 ener-
gising power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
Do not overreach. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair
and clothing away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connecti-
on of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
Do not let familiarity gained from fre-
quent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety prin-
ciples. A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.
