GENERAL POWER TOOL
(2.1)
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(These General Power Tool Safety Instructions
are as specified in EN 62841-1: 2015 &
EN 62841-3-10:2015.
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/ or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference. The term "power tool" in the
warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
1) General Power Tool
(2.2)
Safety Warnings [Work area safety]
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gasses or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
(2.3)
[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 matching
outlets will reduce the 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 electric 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 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.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) 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.
3) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
(2.4)
[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
