General safety information for power tools
WARNING
Read all the safety information, instructions,
illustrations and technical data provided on
or with this power tool. Failure to adhere to the
following instructions may result in electric shock,
fi re and/or serious injury.
Keep all the safety information and instruc-
tions in a safe place for future use.
The term „power tool" used in the safety informati-
on and instructions refers to power tools operated
from the mains power supply (with a power cable)
and to battery operated power tools (without a
Anl_18VCS2_22_1_SPK7_PRINT.indb 156 Anl_18VCS2_22_1_SPK7_PRINT.indb 156

power cable).
1. Workplace safety
a) Keep your work area clean and well illu-
minated. Untidy or unlit work areas can result
in accidents.
b) Do not operate the electric tool in an en-
vironment where there is a risk of explo-
sions and where there are infl ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Electric tools produ-
ce sparks which could set the dust or vapours
alight.
c) Keep children and other people away
from the power tool while you are using it.
If you are distracted you may lose control of
the power tool.
2. Electrical safety
a) The connector plug from this electric tool
must fi t into the socket. The plug should
never be altered in any way. Never use ad-
apter plugs together with earthed electric
tools. Unaltered plugs and correct sockets
reduce the risk of an electric shock.
b) Avoid bodily contact with earthed sur-
faces such as pipes, heating, ovens and
fridges. The risk of electric shock is increa-
sed if your body is earthed.
c) Keep the tool out of the rain and away
from moisture. The ingress of water into an
electric tool increases the risk of an electric
shock.
d) Do not use the power cable for a purpose
for which it is not designed, for example
to carry the power tool, hang it up or to
pull the plug out of the socket. Keep the
power cable away from heat, oil, sharp
edges and moving parts. Power cables that
are damaged or tangled increase the risk of
an electric shock.
e) If you use an electric power tool out-
doors, use only extension cables that are
suitable for outdoor use. The use of an
extension cable which is suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of an electric shock.
f) If operation of the electric tool in a damp
environment can not be avoided, use a
earth-leakage circuit-breaker. The earth-
leakage circuit-breaker reduces the risk of an
electric shock.
