4. Safety instructions

NOTE
The safety rules in section 4.1 contain all general safety rules for
power tools which, in accordance with the applicable standards,
require to be listed in the operating instructions. Accordingly, some
of the rules listed may not be relevant to this tool.

4.1 General Power Tool Safety Warnings

a) WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instruc-
tions. 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.

4.1.1 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. Pow-
er tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a pow-
er tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
4.1.2 Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the
plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earth-
ed (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, 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 entan-
gled 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 out-
door use reduces the risk of electric shock.
