General safety information for power
tools
Attention! Read all instructions contained
herein. Failure to observe the following in-
structions may result in electric shock, burns
and/or severe injury. The term 'power tool'
used in the following includes both mains-op-
erated tools (with mains supply) and battery-
operated tools (without mains supply).
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!
1) Working area
a) Keep your working area clean and tidy.
Untidy and poorly lit working areas may
lead to accidents.
b) Do not operate the tool in potentially ex-
plosive environments containing com-
bustible fluids, gases or dusts. Power
tools generate sparks that may ignite dusts
or fumes.
c) Keep children and other persons away
when you are operating the power tool.
Distractions may result in the operator
loosing control over the tool.
2) Electrical safety
a) The mains plug of the power tool must
fit into the mains socket. The plug must
not be modified in any way. Do not use
adapter plugs/connectors in combina-
tion with tools with protective earthing.
Unmodified plugs and fitting sockets re-
duce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid physical contact with earthed
surfaces as pipes, heaters, ovens and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body earthed.
c) Keep the tool out of the rain. The pene-
tration of water into a power tool increases
the risk of electric shock.
