Bosch YOU Series Original Instructions Manual page 21

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.
u
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
u
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. Distractions
u
can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do
u
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,
u
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
u
will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
u
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Dam-
aged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for out-
u
door use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual cur-
u
rent device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
u
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.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
u
equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
