5 – General safety
instructions for handling
power tools
CAUTION! Read all instructions
carefully. Failure to adhere to the
following instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury. The term „power tool" as used
in the following refers to mains-
powered power tools (with mains
lead) and battery-powered power
tools (without mains lead).
CAUTION! Keep these
instructions safe.
Workplace
• Keep your work area clean and tidy.
Untidy, unlit work areas may cause
accidents.
• Do not use the appliance in an
explosible environment where there
may be flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools generate sparks,
which may ignite the dust or vapour.
• Do not allow children and other
persons near the power tool while
it is in use. Distractions may cause
you to lose control of the appliance.
Electrical safety
• The mains plug of the appliance
must fit the socket. The plug must
not be altered in any way. Do not
use adaptor plugs with protectively
earthed appliances. Unaltered plugs
and correctly fitting sockets reduce
the risk of electric shock.

• Avoid physical contact with earthed
surfaces, such as pipes, heaters,
cookers or refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock, if
your body is earthed.
• Keep the appliance away from rain
and moisture. If water gets into an
electrical appliance, there is an
increased risk of electric shock.
• Do not use the lead to carry the
appliance, hang it up or unplug it
from the socket. Keep the lead
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving appliance parts. Damaged
or tangled leads increase the risk of
electric shock.
• If you use a power tool outdoors,
use only extension leads which are
approved for such use. The use of
an extension lead approved for use
outdoors reduces the risk of electric
shock.
Personal safety
• Keep alert, watch what you are
doing and use the power tool
sensibly. Do not use the appliance,
if tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A split-
second's inattentiveness while using
the appliance may result in injuries.
• Wear personal protective
equipment and always wear safety
goggles. Wearing personal protective
equipment such as a dust mask, non-
slip safety footwear, a safety helmet
or ear protectors, depending on the
kind of power tool and the use to
which it is put, reduces the risk of
injury.
