The term "power tool" in the warnings
refers to your mains operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cord-
less) power tool.
1 Work area
a Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite acci-
dents.
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. Unmodified plugs and match-
ing 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 elec-
tric 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, pulling or
38
unplugging the power tool. Keep

5452990-Abbruchhammer_man.indd 38
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 out
doors, use an extension cord suit
able 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 envi
ronment, use a residual current
circuitbreaker. The use of a residual
current circuit-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, alco
hol or medication. A moment of inat-
tention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b Use personal protective equip
ment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust
masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the offpo
sition before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the
switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
