General power tool safety instructions

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instruc-
tions. Failure to follow the 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-operat-
ed (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and poorly lit
areas can result in accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools 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.
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. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfac-
es such as pipes, radiators and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is 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 misuse 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 entan-
gled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for out-
door use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If it is not possible to avoid the use of the power tool in
humid or wet areas, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
g) In case of change need or substitution of the electric ca-
ble, it should be made by an authorized and qualified tech-
nical service. A damaged cable increases 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
if 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.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-
position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that are switch-
es on invite accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before switching on
the power tool. 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 unex-
pected 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 extrac-
tion and collection facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust re-
lated hazards.
h) Use ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing
loss.
i) Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of con-
trol can cause personal injury.
4. Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for
your application. The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any ad-
justments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools can
cause injuries in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cut-
ting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accor-
dance with these instructions and in the manner intended
for the particular type of power tool, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different from those intended
could result in injuries.
5. Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair per-
son using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b) The substitution of the brushes of the power tool should
be accomplished by an authorized and qualified technical
service. Brushes out of specification can cause damages to
the motor of the power tool.
