Safety regulations

Dear Customer!
The term „power tool" in all of the warnings
listed below refers to your mains operated
(corded) power tool or battery operated (cord-
less) power tool, also machines and electric
units.
1.) Work area
a) Keep work area clean, tidy and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) 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.
c) Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2.) Electrical safety

a) 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.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surface such as pipes, radia-
tors, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for out-
door use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use re-
duces the risk of electric shock.

3.) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
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.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro-
tection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce the risk of personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before plug-
ging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents. Never bridge
the switch.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench be-
fore turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal
