•  If the tool is used 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 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. 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.

•  Never saw in asbestos.
•  Dust from oak, ash and other types of 

wood can be carcinogenic. Use a dust 
mask and ensure there is adequate 
ventilation. 

•  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 tool.

•  Spanners or the like that are left in a 

rotating part of the tool can cause 
personal injury.

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.

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