25 General Power Tool Safety Warnings
c) Keep electric power tools away from rain or
moisture. Water entering an electric power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not use the connecting cable for any other
purpose. Never carry or pull the electric power
tool by the connecting cable or remove the
plug by pulling on the cable. Keep the con‐
necting cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled con‐
necting cables increase the risk of electric
shock.
e) When operating an electric power tool out‐
doors, use an extension cord suitable for out‐
door use. Use of a cord extension suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating an electric power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. The use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

common sense when operating an electric
power tool. Do not use the electric power tool
if you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating the electric power tool may
result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection fit for the
respective type of electric power tool and the
respective job will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Check that the
electric power tool is switched off before you
connect it to the mains, pick it up or carry it.
Accidents can happen if you carry the electric
power tool with your finger on the ON / OFF
switch or with the electric power tool switched
on.
d) Remove any setting tools or wrenches before
turning the electric power tool on. A tool or
spanner left attached to a rotating part of an
electric power tools can lead to injury.
e) Avoid placing your body in an unnatural posi‐
tion. Keep proper footing and balance at all

elry or long hair may be caught in moving
parts.
g) If dust extraction and collection devices can be
mounted, they should be connected and used
correctly. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
h) Do not be lulled into a false sense of security
and do not disregard the safety rules even if
you are thoroughly familiar with the electric
power tool. Carelessness can result in serious
injuries within fractions of a second.
25.5 Electric power tool use and
care
a) Do not force the electric power tool. Use the
correct electric power tool for your application.
The correct electric power tool will do the job

gerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or take a removable battery pack out of
the electric power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the electric power
tool accidentally.
d) Unused electric power tools must be stored
out of the reach of children. Do not let anyone
use the electric power tool who is not familiar
with it or has not read the instructions and
advice. Electric power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain electric power tools and accessories
with care. Check for misalignment or jamming
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the functionality
of the electric power tool. If damaged, have
the electric power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly main‐
tained electrical power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools clean and sharp. Carefully
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to jam and are easier to
control.
g) Use the electric power tool, accessories, tool
