Work area safety
•
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
•
Do not operate power tools in ex-
plosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable Iiquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
•
Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool. Dis-
tractions can cause you to lose con-
trol.
Electrical safety
Caution: This is how to avoid ac-
cidents and injuries by an electric
shock:
•
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
•
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.
•
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 un-
plugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entan-
gled 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 appliance to a power
socket with a residual current circuit
breaker of rated residual current no
more than 30 mA.
•
If the replacement of the supply cord
is necessary, this has to be done by
the manufacturer or his agent in order
to avoid a safety hazard.
Personal safety
Caution: This is how to avoid ac-
cidents and injuries:
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,
alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
•
Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Wear-
ing personal protective equipment
such as non-slip safety shoes, a safe-
ty helmet or ear protection, according
to the type and use of the power tool,
reduces the risk of injury.
•
Prevent unintentional starting. En-
sure that the power tool is switched
off before you connect it to the
