SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY IN THE WORK AREA
• Keep the work area clean and well lit.
Dark and cluttered work areas increase
the risk of accidents and injuries.
• Do not use power tools in explosive
environments, such as in the vicinity of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools produce sparks that can ignite dust
and fumes.
• Keep children and onlookers at a safe
distance when working with a power tool.
You can lose control of the tool if you are
distracted.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• The mains plug on the power tool must
match the mains socket. Never modify the
plug in any way. Never use adapters with
earthed power tools. Intact plugs and
matching outlets reduce the risk of electric
shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, cookers and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or
moisture. There is a greater risk of electric
shock if water gets into a power tool.
• Be careful with the power cord. Never use
the power cord to carry or pull the power
tool, or to pull out the plug from the
mains. Keep the power cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts.
Damaged or tangled power cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
• When you use a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord intended for outdoor
use. Using cords intended for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If you have to use a power tool in damp
conditions, use a mains connection protected
by a residual current device RCD. Using an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
30
• Do not short-circuit the battery.
• Do not leave the battery in the charger
after it is fully charged.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, pay attention to what you are
doing, and use your common sense when
working with power tools. Never use power
tools if you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention when using a power tool can
result in serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear safety
glasses. The correct use of safety equipment
such as a dust filter mask, non-slip safety
shoes, helmets and ear protection, reduces
the risk of personal injury.
• Avoid accidental starting. Check that the
power switch is in the OFF position before
connecting to the mains and/or the battery,
or lifting/carrying the tool. Carrying a power
tool with your finger on the switch, or
connecting a tool to the mains supply when
the switch is in the ON position, increases
the risk of accidents and injuries.
• Remove all Allen keys/spanners etc.
before switching on the power tool. A
spanner left in a rotating part of the
power tool can result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm
footing and good balance. This will ensure
you have better control over the tool in
unexpected situations.
• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear
loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose-fitting clothing,
jewellery and long hair can get caught in
moving parts.
• If dust extraction and dust collection
equipment is available, this should be
connected and used correctly. The use of
such equipment can reduce the risk of
dust-related problems.
