2. Safety information

WARNING!
Read and understand all instructions. Fail-
ure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power
tool" in all of the warnings below refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cord-
less) power tool.
Save these instructions.

2.1 Work area

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and
dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operat-
ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.

2.2 Electrical safety

• 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.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.

2.3 Personal safety

•
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 the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Avoid unintentional operation. Make sure that the
power tool is switched off before you connect it to
the mains supply and/or the battery and whenever
you pick up or carry the tool. When carrying the tool
with your finger on the on/off switch or connecting the
tool to the mains supply with the switch in 'ON' posi-
tion, this may result in accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn-
ing the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached
to a rotating part of the power tool may result in per-
sonal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
