GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION FOR POWER TOOLS

WARNING Read all of the safety information, instructions, illustrations and technical data which
!
is provided with this power tool.
Failure to comply with the following instructions can cause electric shocks, fires and/or serious injuries.
Keep all safety information and instructions for future use.
The term "power tool" used in the safety information refers to mains-fed power tools (with power cable)
or to battery-operated power tools (without power cable).
1) Workplace safety
a) Keep your work area clean and well illuminated. Untidy or badly illuminated work areas can lead to
accidents.
b) Do not work with the power tool in potentially explosive environments in which there are combustible
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools generate sparks which could ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and other persons away while using the power tool. Distractions can lead to loss of
control of the power tool.
2) Electrical safety
a) The power tool connecting plug must fit into the socket. The plug must not be modified in any way.
Do not use adapter plugs in combination with power tools with a protective earth. Unmodified plugs
and suitable sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, heaters, ovens and fridges. There is an
increased risk of electric shock when your body is earthed.
c) Keep power tools away from rain or moisture. The penetration of water into a power tool increases
the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not misuse the connecting cable to carry or hang up the power tool or use it to pull the plug out
of the socket. Keep the connecting cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged
or tangled connecting cables increase the risk of electric shock.
e) If you are working outdoors with a power tool, only use extension cables which are suitable for
outdoor use. Using an extension cable that is suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f) If operating the electric tool in a humid environment is unavoidable, use a fault-current circuit breaker.
Using a fault-current circuit breaker reduces the risk of electric shock..
3) Safety of persons
a) Pay attention, watch what you are doing, and work sensibly with a power tool. Do no use an electric
tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of carelessness
when using the power tool can result in serious injuries.
b) Wear personal protective equipment, and always wear protective goggles. Depending on the type
and use of the power tool, wearing personal protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-slip safety
shoes, a hard hat or hearing protection reduces the risk of injuries.
c) Avoid unintentional start-up. Make sure that the power tool is switched o before connecting it to
the power supply and / or the battery, picking it up or carrying it. If you have your finger on the switch
when carrying the power tool or connect to the power supply with the power tool switched on, this can
lead to accidents.
d) Remove any adjustment tools or wrenches before switching on the power tool. A tool or wrench
that is in a rotating part of the power tool can cause injuries.
e) Avoid abnormal postures. Ensure you have a firm footing, and keep your balance at all times.
This gives you better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can become caught in moving parts.
g) If dust extraction and collection devices can be fitted, they must be connected and used properly.
Using a dust extractor can reduce hazards caused by dust.
h) Do not be lulled into a false sense of security and do not ignore the safety rules for power tools, even
if you are familiar with the power tool after using it on frequent occasions. Careless behaviour can lead
to serious injuries within fractions of a second.
