GENERAL SAFETY PRINCIPLES

Warning! Read all safety-related information and safety instructions! Failure to observe the
safety information and instructions may result in electric shock, burns and/or severe injury.
Keep the safety information and instructions for future reference.
The term 'power tool' as used in the safety information and instructions includes both mains-operated tools (with
power cord) and battery-operated tools (without power cord).
1) Work Area
a) Always keep your work area clean and in order. Disorder and unlit parts of the work area can result in
injuries.
b) Do not use the machine in explosive atmosphere where flammable liquids, gases or dust are
present. Power tools create sparks which may ignite such dust or vapours.
c) Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance while operating a power tool. Distractions can result
in losing control over the machine.
2) Electrical Safety
a) The power tool plugs must match the given outlet. Never modify the plug in any way whatsoever. Do
not use any adaptor plugs with grounded power tools. Using unmodified plugs and suitable outlets
reduce the risk of electric shocks.
b) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, heat radiators, stoves and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain. Water entering the power tool increases the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not use the cable for any other than the intended purposes. Never use the cord for carrying or
suspending the power tool. Do not pull the plug from the outlet by pulling the cord. Keep the cord
