General Safety Directions for
Power Tools
WARNING! READ ALL SAFETY
DIRECTIONS AND INSTRUC-
TIONS. Omissions in the compliance
with safety directions and instructions
or severe injuries.
Retain all safety directions and in-
structions for future use.
The term „power tool“ in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool).
Work area safety :
• Keep work area clean and well
lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
• Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as
Iiquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical safety :
CAUTION! The following states how
to avoid accidents and injuries due to
electric shock:
• 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.
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock
• Avoid body contact with earthed
or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and re-
frigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
• Do not abuse 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
entangled cords increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
• When operating a power tool out-
doors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock. Use a
circuit breaker with a current limit of
30 mA or less.
Personal safety:
CAUTION! The following states how
to avoid accidents and injuries:
• Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do
