SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!
Read all warnings, safety instructions and
other instructions carefully before use.
Failure to follow all the instructions and
safety instructions can result in the risk of
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal
injury.
• Save these instructions and safety
instructions for future reference.
• The term "power tool" in all the warnings
below refers to mains-powered (corded)
or battery-powered (cordless) power tools.

WORK AREA

• Keep the work area clean and well lit.
Dark and cluttered work areas increase
the risk of accidents and injuries.
• Do not use power tools in explosive
environments, such as in the vicinity
of flammable liquids, gas or dust.
Power tools produce sparks that can
ignite dust and fumes.
• Keep onlookers, especially children,
and pets at a safe distance when using
power tools. You can easily lose control
of the product if you are distracted.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, cookers and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or
moisture. There is a greater risk of electric
shock if water gets into a power tool.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert. Pay attention to what you are
doing, and use your common sense when
working with power tools. Never use
power tools if you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
Remember that a fraction of a second of
inattention or negligence can result in
serious personal injury.
• Use personal safety equipment.
Wear safety glasses. Depending on
the type of product and how it is used,
safety equipment such as dust masks,
non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets and
ear protection reduce the risk of personal
injury.
• Avoid accidental starting. Check that the
power switch is in the OFF position before
plugging in the plug or battery, or lifting/
carrying the product. Carrying a power
tool with your finger on the switch,
or connecting a tool to the mains supply
when the switch is in the ON position,
increases the risk of accidents and injuries.
• Remove any adjuster keys and the like
before starting the product. Spanners or
the like that are left in a rotating part of
the product can cause personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm
footing and good balance. This ensures
better control over the power tool in
unexpected situations.
• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear
loose-fitting clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose-fitting clothing,
jewellery and long hair can get caught in
moving parts.
• If dust extraction and dust collection
equipment is available, this should be
connected and used correctly. The use of
such devices can reduce the risk of
dust-related problems.
USE AND CARE
• Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for the planned work.
The power tool does the job better and
safer when used at the rate for which it
was designed.
