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 power 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 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. The term power tool in
the warnings below 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.
• Be careful with the power cord. Never use
the power cord to carry or pull the power
