Safety instructions
1. General safety instructions for power tools
Warning! Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the safety
instructions and instructions can result in electric shock, fire and / or serious injury.
Retain all safety notices and instructions for future use.
The term "power tool" used in the safety instructions refers to mains-operated power tools
(with a power cord) and to battery-operated power tools (without a power cord).
1). Job security
a) Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or unlit work areas can lead to
accidents.
b) Do not work with the power tool in an explosive environment in which there are
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools generate sparks that can ignite the dust
or fumes.
c) Keep children and other people away while using the power tool. If you are distracted,
you can lose control of the device.
2). Electrical safety
a) The power tool connector must match the socket. The plug must not be modified in
any way. Do not use adapter plugs with protective earthed power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, heaters, stoves and refrigera
tors. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
c) Keep power tools away from rain or moisture. Water getting into a power tool increas
es the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not misuse the cable to carry the power tool, to hang it up or to pull the plug from
the socket. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts of the
device. Damaged or tangled cables increase the risk of electric shock.
e) If you work with a power tool outdoors, only use extension cables that are also
suitable for outdoor use. Using an extension cord suitable for outdoor use will reduce
the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating the power tool in a damp environment cannot be avoided, use a residual
current circuit breaker. The use of a residual current circuit breaker reduces the risk of
an electric shock.
3). Personal safety
a) Be attentive, pay attention to what you are doing, and use your common sense when
working with a power tool. Do not use a power tool when you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while using the
power tool can result in serious injury.
b) Wear personal protective equipment and always protective goggles. Wearing personal
protective equipment, such as a dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, hard hat or hearing
protection, depending on the type and use of the power tool, reduces the risk of
injuries.
c) Avoid unintentional start-up. Make sure that the power tool is switched off before you
connect it to the power supply and / or the battery, pick it up or carry it. Accidents can
occur if you have your finger on the switch while carrying the power tool or if you
connect the device to the power supply when it is switched on.
