WARNING
Read all the safety instructions and directions!
Failure to observe the safety instructions and directions may cause
electric shocks, fires and/or serious injury!
Retain all safety instructions and directions for future use and pass them on to any
other users or subsequent owners.
The term „power tool" used in these safety instructions relates to mains-
operated power tools (with a mains cable) and to battery-operated power tools
(without a mains cable).
a)
Keep your workplace clean and well lit. Untidy or unlit work areas
may lead to accidents.
b)
Do not work with power tools in environments with an explosion
risk in which there are flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
generate sparks that might ignite the dust or vapour.
c)
Keep children and other people at a distance when using power
tools. If you are distracted you might lose control of the power tool.
a)
The plug on the power tool must fit the socket. The plug must not be
modified in any way. Do not use adapters together with tools with
earth protection. Unmodified plugs and fitting sockets reduce the risk of an
electric shock.
b)
Avoid bodily contact with earthed surfaces such as those of pipes,
heating units, stoves and fridges. There is an increased risk of an electric
shock if your body is earthed.
c)
Keep power tools out of rain or damp. Water penetration into a power
tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
d)
Do not misuse the cable to carry the power tool, to hang it up or to
pull the plug out of the socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving equipment parts. Damaged or tangled cables
increase the risk of an electric shock.
e)
If you are working outdoors with a power tool, use only extension
cables that are actually suitable for outdoor use. Using an extension
cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock.
f)
If you cannot avoid using the power tool in a damp environment,
use a residual current circuit breaker. Using a residual current circuit
breaker eliminates the risk of an electric shock.
