5.  Safety information

General safety information for power tools

m

WARNING!  Read all safety warnings, instruc-

tions, illustrations and technical data provided 
with this power tool.

 Failure to follow the warnings and in-

structions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future refer-
ence.

The term “power tool” used in the safety instructions refers to 
mains powered power tools (with power cord) and cordless 
power tools (without power cord).

Workplace safety

a)  Keep your workplace clean and well illumi-

nated.

Disorderliness and poorly illuminated workplaces may 
Iead to accidents.

b)  Do not operate the power tool in explosive 

atmospheres with inflammable liquids, gases 
or dust.

Power tools generate sparks which may ignite dust or va-
pours.

c)  Keep children and other persons away from 

the power tool during operation.

You may lose control of the tool if you are distracted.

Electric safety

a)  The plug of the power tool must fit into the 

socket.

Do not modify the plug in any way. Do not use adapter 
plugs together with grounded power tools. Unmodified 
plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.

b)  Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces 

such as pipes, radiators, ovens and refrigera-
tors. There is an increased risk of electric shock 
if your body is grounded.

c)  Keep power tools away from rain or humidity. 

Water permeation into the power tool will increase the 
risk of electric shock.

d)  Use the cable solely for its intended purpose. 

Do not use the cable to carry or hang up the 
power tool or to pull out the plug from the 
socket.

Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or mov-
ing machine parts. Damaged or twisted cables increase 
the risk of electric shock.

e)  When working outdoors with power tools, 

only use extension cords which are suited for 
outdoor areas.

Using extension cords suited for outdoor applications re-
duces the risk of electric shock.

f)  lf the operation of power tools in a humid en-

vironment cannot be avoided, you must use a 
residual current circuit breaker.

The use of a residual current circuit breaker will reduce the 
risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

Pay attention to what you are doing and use 
power tools sensibly.
Do not use power tools when you are tired or 
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation.

 A single moment of inattention while using pow-

er tools may cause severe injury.

b)  Wear personal protective equipment and safe-

ty goggles.

Wearing personal protective equipment such as a dust 
mask, non-skid safety boots, a protective helmet or hear-
ing protection according to the type and application of 
the power tool reduces the risk of injury.
