Safety Instructions
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
Read all safety warnings and
WARNING
all instructions. Failure to fol-
low 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-operated (corded) power tool or bat-
tery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
English
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
u
or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive at-
u
mospheres, such as in the presence of flam-
mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools cre-
ate sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while
u
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
English
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
u
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed (groun-
ded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or groun-
u
ded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an in-
creased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
u
conditions. Water entering a power tool will in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
u
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or en-
tangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use
u
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock..
18 | English
If operating a power tool in a damp location
u
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD re-
duces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
u
common sense when operating a power tool.
English
Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
English
medication. A moment of inattention while op-
erating power tools may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always
u
wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
u
switch is in the off-position before connect-
ing to power source and/or battery pack,
picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or en-
ergising power tools that have the switch on in-
vites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
u
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
u
balance at all times. This enables better con-
trol of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
u
or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of
u
dust extraction and collection facilities, en-
sure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
u
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does
u
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that can-
not be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
u
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
