SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!
Read all warnings, safety instructions and
other instructions carefully before use.
Failure to follow all the instructions and safety
instructions can result in the risk of electric
shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
WORK AREA
• Keep the work area clean and well lit.
Dark and cluttered work areas increase
the risk of accidents and injuries.
• Do not use power tools in explosive
environments, such as in the vicinity of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools produce sparks that can ignite dust
and fumes.
• Keep children and onlookers at a safe
distance when using power tools. You can
easily lose control of the tool if you are
distracted.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• The plug on the power tool must match
the power point. Never modify the plug in
any way. Never use an adapter with
earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets reduce the risk of
electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, cookers and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or
moisture. There is a greater risk of electric
shock if water gets into a power tool.
• Be careful with the power cord. Never use
the power cord to carry or pull the tool, or
to pull out the plug from the power point.
Keep the power cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged
or tangled power cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
• Only use an extension cord approved for
outdoor use. Cords intended for outdoor
use reduce the risk of electric shock.
• If it is absolutely necessary to use power
tools in damp conditions, use a power
point protected by a residual current
device RDC. Using an RCD reduces the risk
of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert. Pay attention to what you are
doing, and use your common sense when
working with power tools. Never use power
tools if you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention when using a power tool can
result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal safety equipment. Wear
safety glasses.
• Depending on the type of tool and how it
is used, safety equipment such as dust
masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety
helmets and ear protection reduce the risk
of personal injury.
• Never saw in asbestos.
• Dust from oak, ash and other types of
wood can be carcinogenic. Use a dust
mask and ensure there is adequate
ventilation.
• Avoid accidental starting. Check that the
power switch is in the OFF position before
plugging in the power cord and/or the
battery, or lifting/carrying the tool.
Carrying a power tool with your finger on
the switch, or connecting a tool to the
mains supply when the switch is in the ON
position, increases the risk of accidents
and injuries.
• Remove Allen keys/spanners etc. before
starting the tool.
• Spanners or the like that are left in a
rotating part of the tool can cause
personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm
footing and good balance. This will ensure
