2.2. GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR THE TOOL

Warning
Read all the safety measures and all the instructions. Failure to comply with the following
instructions risks causing electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Note
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the safety warnings refers to your battery-powered electric tool (without power cord).

2.2.1. WORK AREA SAFETY

1. Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating the power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.

2.2.2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. 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.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigera-
tors. 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
3.
electric shock (with the exception of tools for which the "IP" protection rating is specified).
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
4.
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled power cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
