4. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ATTENTION!
Familiarize yourself with all the warning and safety instructions and with the tool operating instructions.
ATTENTION!
Failure to adhere to warning or safety instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
ATTENTION!
Keep all the warning and safety instructions in a practical place for future reference.
Note: The term "power tool" in all the warning instructions specified hereafter means mains-operated
(corded) power tool.
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas at the workplace invite accidents.
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.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control
over the tool.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the mains 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 the risk of
electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, 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 will increase the risk of electric shock.
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.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor 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 current device (RCD) protected
supply. Use of residual current device (RCD) reduces the risk of electric shock.
Note: The term "residual current device" (RCD) may be substituted by the term "ground fault circuit
interrupter" (GFCI) or "earth leakage circuit breaker" (ELCB).
Personal safety
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.
Use personal means of protection. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used in conformity with the working conditions will reduce
personal injuries
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting the battery, storing or
carrying the power tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
