whether or not further precautions are required. The factors which affect the actual level of operator exposure
include the duration of exposure, the ambient characteristics and other sources of emission, for example, the
number of machines and other adjacent machining. The permitted exposure values may also vary from country.
Nevertheless, this information allows the user of the machine to better evaluate the dangers and risks.
Other factors which reduce exposure to noise are:
- Tool and machine maintenance.
- Use of hearing protection system (e.g. headsets, earplugs, etc.).

4. Safety instructions
4.1 General power tools safety instructions
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow all 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
- Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
- 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 away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
4.1.2 Electrical safety
- 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.
- 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 conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
- 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.
- 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.
- If operating a power tools in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
4.1.3 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.
