2.1. GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR THE TOOL

Warning
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Note
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the safety warnings refers to your battery-powered electric tool (without power cord).

2.1.1. WORK AREA SAFETY

control of the tool.

2.1.2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. The power tool connector must be adapted to the socket. Never modify the connector in any way what-
soever. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and suitable
sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.

increased risk of electric shock if your body is in direct contact with the ground.
Do not expose power tools to rain or damp conditions. The entry of water into a power tool increases the
3.
risk of electric shock.
4. Do not mishandle the power cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
5. 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.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) pro-
tected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

2.1.3. PERSONAL SAFETY

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the 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 when using a power tool can result in serious personal injury.
