5. Important information

General power tool safety warnings
m WARNING Read all safety information and
instructions. Failure to observe safety information
and instructions can result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injuries.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term "electric tool" used in the safety instructions
refers to mains-powered electrical tools (with a mains
cable) and battery-powered electrical tools (without
a mains cable).
Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
• 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.
• Keep children and other people away while
using the electric tool. Distractions may cause
you to lose control of the device.
Electrical safety
• 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.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. 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 use the cable for another purpose, for
example, carrying or hanging the power tool
or pulling the plug out of the socket. Keep
the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving device parts. Damaged or coiled cables
increase the risk of an electric shock.
• If you work with a power tool outdoors, only
use extension cables that are also suitable for
outdoor use. Using an extension cable suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock.
• If you cannot avoid using the electrical tool in
a wet environment, use a fault-current circuit
breaker. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
Personal safety
• 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 carelessness when using electrical tools
can result in serious injuries.
• 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.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Keeping your finger on
the switch or having the device switched on when
you connect it to the power supply may result in
accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A tool or spanner that
is located in a rotating device part may result in
injuries.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If dust extraction and collection devices can be
mounted, make sure that they are connected
and used properly. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
• Do not overload the device. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
• 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.
