2. General safety information for power
tools
Read all safety warnings and all instruc-
tions. Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term „power tool" in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

2.1 Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmo-spheres, 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.

2.2 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 (ground-
ed) power tools. Unmodified plugs and match-
ing outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, 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 outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current de-
vice (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
