General safety information for power tools
The term „power tool" used in the safety regulati-
ons refers to power tools operated from the mains
power supply (with a power cable) and to battery
operated power tools (without a power cable).
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Clutte-
red and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
fl ammable 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.
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 earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodifi ed plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of elec-
tric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radia-
tors, ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is

EN
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 entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for out-
door use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tools in a damp lo-
cation is unavoidable, use a residual cur-
rent device (RCD) protected supply. Use
of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) 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 infl uence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safe-
ty shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce perso-
nal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off -position before con-
necting to power source and/or BATTERY
pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your fi nger on the
switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench be-
fore turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
