2. General Safety Instructions
Caution! Read all the instructions. Non-observance of the instructions below can cause
electric shock, re and or serious personal injuries. The term "power tool" used
below covers both mains-operated power tools (with mains lead) and
accumulator-operated power tools (without mains lead).
1. Safety at the workplace
Keep your workplace clean and well lit. a) Disorder or unlit workplaces may result in
accidents.
Never use the tool in hazardous areas that contain ammable liquids, gases b)
or dusts. Power tools generate sparks that can ignite the dust or vapors.
Keep children and other persons away when using the power tool. c) You can
lose control of the tool if you are distracted.
2. Electrical Safety
The tool plug must t into the socket. The plug may not be modied in any a)
form. Do not use adaptor plugs together with protective-earthed tools.
Unmodied plugs and suitable sockets reduce the risk of an electric shock.
Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, heating b)
elements, stoves and refrigerators. The risk through electric shock increases if
your body is earthed.
Keep the equipment away from rain and moisture. c) The risk of an electric shock
increases if water penetrates electrical equipment.
Do not misuse the mains lead by carrying the tool by the lead, hanging it d)
from the lead or by pulling on the lead to remove the plug. Keep the lead
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving tool parts. Damaged or twisted
leads increase the risk of an electric shock.
If you work outdoors with a power tool, only use extension cables suitable e)
for outdoor use. The use of an extension lead that is suitable for outdoors reduces
the risk of an electric shock.
If you cannot avoid using the tool in a damp environment, use a residual f)
current operated circuit-breaker. Using a residual current operated circuit-breaker
avoids the risk of electric shock.
3. Safety of Persons
Be attentive. Pay attention to what you are doing and work sensibly with a)
a power tool. Do not use the tool if you are tired or under the inuence of
