Safety
The term "power tool" used in the safety
notes refers to both mains-operated power
tools (with power cord) and battery-
powered power tools (without power
cord).
Workplace safety
- Keep your work area tidy and
well lit. Clutter or unlit work areas
can lead to accidents.
- Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of flam-
mable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
- Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
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 misuse the power cord,
such as to carry or hang the
power tool or to pull the plug
out of the socket. Keep the
power cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled
power cords increase the risk of elec
tric shock.
- 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.
- If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable,
use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of
an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
