6. Safety information

General power tool safety warnings
m WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifications provided with
this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future ref-
erence.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
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 atmos-
pheres, 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 op-
erating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
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
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d. 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 ca-
ble away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving device parts.
Damaged or coiled cables increase the risk of an electric
shock.
e. If you work with a power tool outdoors, only
use extension cables that are also suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use re-
duces the risk of electric shock. Only use approved and
appropriately identified extension cables for use outdoors.
Only use cable reels in the unrolled state.

f. If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply with a trigger current of
30 mA or less. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
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 medica-
tion. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
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 per-
sonal injuries.
c. 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. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on 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 power tool 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 hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and anti-
slip footwear are recommended when working outdoors.
Tie long hair back in a hair net.
g. 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.
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.
Power tool use and care
a. 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.
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.
