General safety
instructions for power
tools
WARNING! Read all
safety directions and
instructions. Omissions in
the compliance with safety di-
rections and instructions can
cause electrical shock, fire
and/or severe injuries.
Retain all safety directions
and instructions for future
use.
The term "Power Tools" used in the
safety instructions refers to mains-
operated power tools (with power
cord) and to battery-operated pow-
er tools (without power cord).
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 atmos-
pheres, such as in the
presence of flammable
Iiquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and by-
standers away while op-
erating a power tool. Dis-
tractions can cause you to lose
control.
2) Electrical safety
Caution: This is how to avoid
accidents and injuries by an
electric shock:

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 sur-
faces, such as pipes, ra-
diators, ranges and refrig-
erators. 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 condi-
tions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord.
Never use the cord for car-
rying, pulling or unplug-
ging 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 ex-
tension 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 una-
voidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) pro-
tected supply. Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
