2. SAFETY REGULATIONS

2.1 GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

DANGER
Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications. provided
with this power tool. Failure lo follow
all instructions listed below 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-opera/eel (cordecl) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders
well away while using power tools.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, cookers and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
b) Do not expose power tools to
rain or wet environments. Water
entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electrical shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, check what you are doing
and use common sense when using
a power tool. Do not use the power
tool when you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medicines. A moment of inattention
while operating a power tool may
result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as a dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Make
sure the appliance is turned off before
inserting the battery pack, picking up
or carrying the power tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch
or mounting the battery with the switch
in "ON" position invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left attached
to a rotating part of the machine
may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair and clothing away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from
frequent use of tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless
action can cause severe injury
within a fraction of a second.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the
speed for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Remove the battery pack from
the machine before making any
adjustments, changing accessories or
storing the power tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
