7 Safety Instructions
3. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ATTENTION!
Acquaint yourself with all warnings and safety instructions and with operation instructions for the power
tool.
ATTENTION!
Not adhering to warnings or safety instructions may result in injury by electrical shock, a fi re and/or serious
injury.
ATTENTION!
Store all warnings and safety instructions in a practical location for future reference.
Note: The term "power tool" in all hereafter provided warnings is defi ned as an electric power tool powered
from the power grid (via a fl exible power cord).
Safety in the work area
Keep the work area tidy and well illuminated. Untidiness and dark locations in the workplace are sources of
accidents.
Do not use the power tool in environments where there is a explosion hazard, where there are fl ammable
liquids, gases or dust. The power tool generates sparks which could ignite dust or vapours.
When using the power tool, prevent children and other persons access to the power tool. If you become
distracted, you may lose control over the power tool.
Safety when working with power tools
The plug on the fl exible power cord must correspond to the power socket outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Never use any socket adapters with power tools that have a safety earth grounding connection. Plugs
that are not damaged by modifi cations and that correspond to the power socket will limit the danger of injury
by electrical shock.
Prevent your body from coming into contact with grounded objects, such as pipes, central heating radiators,
stoves and refrigerators. The risk of injury by electrical shock is greater when your body is connected to the
ground.
Do not expose the power tool to rain, dampness or wetness. The entry of water into the power tool increases
the danger of injury by electrical shock.
Do not use the fl exible power cord for other purposes. Never carry or pull the power tool by its power cord or
pull the plug out of the socket by the power cord. Protect the power cord against heat, grease, sharp edges
and moving parts. Damaged or tangled power cords increase the danger of injury by electrical shock.
If the power tool is used outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Using extension cords
designed for outdoor use limits the risk of injury by electrical shock.
If you will be using the power tool in a damp environment, use a residual current device (RCD) in the power
supply circuit. The use of a residual current device reduces the risk of injury by electrical shock.
Note: The "residual current device" (RCD) may be substituted for by the term "ground fault circuit
interrupter" (GFCI) or "earth leakage circuit breaker" (ELCB).
