•  Be careful with the power cord. Never use 

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

•  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 power 
point 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. Always 

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. Check that the 

power switch is in the OFF position before 
plugging in the power cord and/or 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. Allen keys, or the 
like, left in a rotating part of a power tool 
can cause personal injury.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

     WARNING!   
Read all the safety instructions and other 
instructions. Failure to follow the safety 
instructions and other instructions can result 
in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal 
injury. Save all the safety instructions and 
other instructions for future reference.  
The term "power tool" in the safety 
instructions refers to your mains-powered 
(corded) or battery-powered (cordless)  
power tool.

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 
shock if water gets into a power tool.
