5. Safety rules

5.1 General safety rules
-WARNING- Read all instructions! Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all
of the warnings listed below refers to your mains oper-
ated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cord-
less) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
5.1.1 Work area
a) Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq-
uids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operat-
ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
5.1.2 Electrical safety
a) 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. Unmod-
ified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-
faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrig-
erators. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car-
rying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord approved for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
5.1.3 Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce per-
sonal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off position before plugging in. Carrying pow-
er tools with your finger on the switch or plugging
in power tools that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn-
ing the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached
to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
ellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of these
devices can reduce dust related hazards.
5.1.4 Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct pow-
er tool for your application. The correct power tool
