shock if water gets into a power tool.

•  Be careful with the power cord. Never use 

the power cord to carry or pull the tool, or 
to pull out the plug from the power point. 
Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, 
sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged 
or tangled power cords increase the risk of 
electric shock.

•  If using the tool outdoors, only use an 

extension cord approved for outdoor use. 
Cords intended for outdoor use reduce the 
risk of electric shock.

•  If it is absolutely necessary to use power 

tools in damp conditions, use a mains 
connection protected by a residual current 
device (RDC). Using an RCD reduces the 
risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY 

•  Stay alert. Pay attention to what you are 

doing, and use your common sense when 
working with power tools. Never use 
power tools if you are tired or under the 
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. 
A moment of inattention when using a 
power tool can result in serious personal 
injury.

•  Use personal safety equipment. Wear 

safety glasses.

•  Depending on the type of tool and how it 

is used, safety equipment such as dust 
masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety 
helmets and ear protection reduce the risk 
of personal injury.

•  Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the 

power switch is in the OFF position before 
plugging in the plug or inserting the 
battery, or lifting/carrying the tool.

•  Carrying a power tool with your finger on 

the switch, or connecting a tool to the 
mains supply when the switch is in the ON 
position, increases the risk of accidents 
and injuries.

•  Remove Allen keys/spanners etc. before 

starting the power tool. Spanners or the 

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

     WARNING!   

•  Read all warnings, safety instructions 

and other instructions carefully before 
use. Failure to follow all the instructions 
and safety instructions can result in the 
risk of electric shock, fire and/or serious 
personal injury.

•  Save these instructions and safety 

instructions for future reference.

•  The term "power tool" in all the 

warnings below refers to mains-
powered (corded) or battery-powered 
(cordless) power tools.

WORK AREA 

•  Keep the work area clean and well lit. 

Dark and cluttered work areas increase 
the risk of accidents and injuries. 

•  Do not use power tools in explosive 

environments, such as in the vicinity of 
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power 
tools produce sparks that can ignite dust 
and fumes.

•  Keep children and onlookers at a safe 

distance when using power tools. You can 
easily lose control of the tool if you are 
distracted.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY 

•  The plug on the power tool must match 

the power point. Never modify the plug in 
any way. Never use an adapter with 
earthed power tools.

•  Unmodified plugs and matching outlets 

reduce the risk of electric shock.

•  Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces 

such as pipes, radiators, cookers and 
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of 
electric shock if your body is earthed.

•  Do not expose power tools to rain or 

moisture. There is a greater risk of electric
