General safety information for power tools
Warning! Read all safety-related informa-
tion and safety instructions! Failure to
observe the safety information and instruc-
tions may result in electric shock, burns and/
or severe injury.
Keep the safety information and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term 'power tool' as used in the safety
information and instructions includes both
mains-operated tools (with power cord) and
battery-operated tools (without power cord).
1) Safety at the workplace
a) Keep your working area clean, tidy
and well-lit. Disorder and poorly lit work-
ing areas may result in accidents.
b) Do not operate the power tool in po-
tentially explosive environments con-
taining combustible fluids, gases or
dusts. Power tools generate sparks that
may ignite dusts or fumes.
c) Keep children and other persons away
while you are operating the power tool.
Distractions may result in the operator
loosing control over the tool.
2) Electrical safety
a) The mains plug of the power tool must
fit into the mains socket. The plug
must not be modified in any way. Do
not use adapter plugs/connectors in
combination with tools with protective
earthing. Unmodified plugs and fitting
sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid physical contact with earthed
surfaces as pipes, heaters, ovens and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed.
c) Keep the tool out of the rain or mois-
ture in general. The penetration of water
into a power tool increases the risk of
electric shock.
d) Do not use the cord to carry or hang
up the tool or to pull the plug out of
the socket. Keep the cord away from
heat, oil and sharp edges or moving
parts of the tool. Damaged or tangled

cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool out-
doors, use exclusively extension
cords that are approved for outdoor-
use. The use of an extension cord that is
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
f) If the operation of a power tool in a
moist environment cannot be avoided
it is highly recommended to use a
residual current device (RCD). The use
of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Always pay attention to what you do
and apply reasonable care when work-
ing with a power tool. Do not use the
power tool when you are tired or under
the influence of medication, drugs or
alcohol. When working with power tools,
even a short moment of inattentiveness
may result in severe injury.
b) Wear personal protection equipment
and always wear eye protection (safe-
ty goggles). Wearing personal protection
equipment as a dust mask, nonslip safety
shoes, safety helmet or ear protectors
(depending on the type and application
of the tool) reduces the risk of injury.
c) Avoid unintentional operation. Make
sure that the power tool is switched
off before you connect it to the mains
supply and/or the battery and when-
ever you pick up or carry the tool.
When carrying the tool with your finger on
the on/off switch or connecting the tool to
the mains supply with the switch in 'ON'
position, this may result in accidents.
d) Remove adjustment tools or wrenches
and the like before you switch the
power tool on. A wrench or other tool
that is inside or on a rotating part of the
tool may cause injury.
e) Avoid unusual postures. Make sure
to have a safe footing and keep your
balance at all times. This will allow you
to better control the power tool in unex-
pected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothes. Do not wear
wide clothing or jewellery. Keep your
