instructions for handling
power tools
WARNING! Read all safety
warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions
for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warn-
ings refers to your mains operated
(corded) power tool or battery-oper-
ated (cordless) power tool.
1 Work area
a Keep work area clean and well
lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.
b Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, 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 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
(grounded) power tools. Unmod-
ified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
b Avoid body contact with earthed
or grounded surfaces, such as

pipes, radiators, 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, pull­
ing 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 it is not possible to avoid
using the electrical tool in a
damp environment, use a resid­
ual current circuit­breaker. The
use of a residual current cir-
cuit-breaker reduces the risk of an
electrical shock.
3 Personal safety
a Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b Use personal protective equip­
ment. Always wear eye protec­
tion. Protective equipment such
