Safety regulations

Warning!
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all i
nstructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term
„power tool" in all of the warnings listed below
refers to your mains operated (corded) power
tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool,
also machines and electric units. Only use the
power tool for the purpose
for which it was intended, with the due attention
to the general safety and accident prevention
regulations.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
1.) Work area
a) Keep work area clean, tidy and well lit.
Cluttered and 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 away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2.) Electrical safety
a) 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.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surface such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
- 8 -
There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
d) 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 electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3.) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication.
A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce the risk of personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before
plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents. Never bridge
the switch.
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 power tool may result in personal
injury. Always keep your hands away from
moving (rotating) parts.
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,
