The term "electric tool" used in the safety instructions refers to elec-
tric tools operated from the mains power supply (with a power cable)
and to battery operated electric tools (without a power cable).
1. Workplace safety
a) Keep your work area clean and well illuminated. Untidy or un-
lit work areas can result in accidents.
b) Do not operate the electric tool in an environment where
there is a risk of explosions and where there are infl amma-
ble liquids, gases or dust. Electric tools produce sparks which
could set the dust or vapours alight.
c) Keep the electric tool out of the reach of children and other
persons. If there is a distraction, you may lose control of the ap-
pliance.
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 adapter plugs together with earthed electric tools. Un-
altered plugs and correct sockets reduce the risk of an electric
shock.
b) Avoid bodily contact with earthed surfaces 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 in-
gress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric
shock.
d) Do not use the cable to carry the electric tool, to hang it up
or to pull it out of the socket. Keep the cable away from heat,
oil, sharp edges and moving parts of the appliance. Dama-
ged or entangled cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
e) If you are working outdoors with an electric tool, only use
extension cables which are designed specifi cally for this
purpose. Using specially designed outdoor extension cables, the
