4. General safety instructions
Attention! Read all instructions con-

lowing instructions may result in electric
shock, burns and/or severe injury.
The term 'power tool' used in the following in-
cludes both mains-operated tools (with mains
supply) and battery-operated tools (without
mains supply).
1) Working area
a) Keep your working area clean and tidy.
Untidy and poorly lit working areas may
lead to accidents.
b) Do not operate the tool in potentially
explosive environments containing
combustible fluids, gases or dusts.
Power tools generate sparks that may
ignite dusts or fumes.
c) Keep children and other persons away
when 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 combina-
tion with tools with protective earth-
ing. 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 earthed.
c) Keep the tool out of the rain. The pene-
tration of water into a power tool increases
the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not use the cable to carry or hang
up the tool or to pull the plug out of the
socket. Keep the cable away from heat,
oil and sharp edges or moving parts
