2. GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
2.1 GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications. provided
with this power tool. Failure lo follow all
instructions listed below 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-opera/eel (cordecl) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) 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, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders well away
while using power tools. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2) 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 risk
of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, cookers 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 electrical 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.
g) The plug of the charger cable must
be compatible with the socket. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not
use adapters with the earthed battery
charger cable. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
h) Never pull on the cable of the battery
charger to extract the plug. Keep the
battery charger cable away from heat,
oil, solvents, sharp objects, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cables increase the risk of
electric shock.
i) Only connect the battery charger to
power outlets with the mains voltage
and frequency indicated on the rating
plate.
Moisture and electricity are not compatible:
– Always handle and connect electric cables
in dry conditions.
– Never allow electric sockets or cables to
come into contact with wet areas (puddles
or wet soil).
– If necessary, use extension leads with
integral, watertight and approved sockets
sold on the market.
– A mains socket for recharging, connected to
the mains of a building, must be installed by
a qualified electrician and must be properly
protected by a differential circuit breaker
(RCD Residual Current Device) with a
tripping current value compliant with current
regulations.
– Incorrect wiring can cause short circuits,
severe injuries and even death.
• To avoid interruptions in the power supply
while recharging:
a. make sure that the overall flow rate of the
electrical system is adequate.
b. connect the machine to a mains socket with
sufficient amperage.
c. avoid using other high absorption electrical
equipment at the same time.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, check what you are doing and
use common sense when using a power
tool. Do not use the power tool when
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medicines. A moment
of inattention while operating a power tool
may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
