Damaged or tangled power cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
• When you use a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord intended for outdoor
use. Using cords intended for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If an extension cord is used the cross-
sectional area of the wires must be
dimensioned for the power supply to the
product.
• If you have to use a power tool in damp
conditions, use a mains connection
protected by a residual current device RCD.
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 safety equipment. Always wear safety
glasses. The correct use of safety equipment
such as a dust filter mask, non-slip safety
shoes, helmets and ear protection, reduces
the risk of personal injury.
• Avoid accidental starting. Check that the
power switch is in the OFF position before
connecting to the mains 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.
• Remove all Allan keys/spanners etc.
before switching on the power tool.
A spanner left in a rotating part of the
power tool can result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm
footing and good balance. This will ensure
you have better control over the tool in
unexpected situations.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
Read all warnings, safety instructions and
other instructions. 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.
SAFETY IN THE 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 working with a power tool.
You can 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 adapters with earthed
power tools. Intact 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.
• 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.
