General safety notes for power tools
WARNING!
Read all safety notes and instructions.
Failure to follow the safety notes and instructions may result in an
electric shock, fire and/or severe injury.
Keep all safety notes and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” used in the safety notes refers to mains-oper-
ated power tools (with a mains cord) and battery-powered power
tools (cordless).
1. Work place safety
a) Keep your work area clean and well lit. Disorganisation or un-
lit work areas may result in accidents.
b) Do not work with the power tool in areas with a risk of ex-
plosion where flammable liquids, gases or dusts are pres-
ent. Power tools may produce sparks that could ignite dust or
vapours.
c) Keep children and other persons away from the power tool
while you are using it. If you are distracted, you could lose con-
trol of the device.
2. Electrical safety
a) The connector plug for the power tool must fit in the sock-
et. The plug may not be modified in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs in combination with power t
ools with protective
earthing. Plugs that have not been modified and sockets with the
proper fit reduce the risk of an electric shock.
b) Avoid coming into contact with earthed surfaces like pipes,
heaters, stoves and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
c) Keep power tools away from rain or moisture. If water pen-
etrates a power tool, there is an increased risk of electric shock.
