tions and instructions can cause
electrical shock, fire and/or severe
injuries.
Retain all safety directions and in-
structions for future use.
The term "Power Tools" used in the safety
instructions refers to mains-operated pow-
er tools (with power cord) and to battery-
operated power tools (without power cord).
Work area safety:
Keep work area clean and well lit.
•
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
•
Do not operate power tools in ex-
plosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable Iiquids, gas-
es or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders
•
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical safety:
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
matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock
Avoid body contact with earthed
•
or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrig-
erators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain
•
or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
•
Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord for carrying, pulling 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.
•
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.
•
If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
•
Connect the equipment to a plug
socket with a leakage-current-oper-
ated circuit breaker (FI switch), with a
rated current of not more than 30 mA.
•
If the power cable for this equipment
is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, a customer service
agent of the same or a similarly quali-
fied person in order to prevent hazards.
Personal safety:
•
Stay alert, watch what you are do-
ing 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 in-
attention white operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
•
Use personal protective equip-
ment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
