  1.2 

General safety rules 

WARNING! Read all instructions. 

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may 

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

The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated 

(corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool. 

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. 
1)   Work area 

a)  

Keep work area clean and well lit. 

Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents. 

b)  

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of 
flammable liquids, gases or dust. 

Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust 

or fumes. 

c)  

Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. 

Distractions can 

cause you to lose control. 

2)   Electrical safety 

a)  

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do 
not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. 

Unmodified plugs 

and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. 

b)  

Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, 
ranges and refrigerators. 

There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is 

earthed or grounded. 

c)  

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. 

Water entering a power tool 

will increase the risk of electric shock. 

d)  

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the 
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. 

Damaged 

or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. 

e)  

When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for 
outdoor use. 

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. 

3)   Personal safety 

a)  

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a 
power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of 
drugs, alcohol or medication. 

A moment of in attention while operating power tools 

may result in serious personal injury. 

b)  

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. 

Safety equipment such as dust 

mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate 
conditions will reduce personal injuries. 

c)  

Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging 
in. 

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that 

have the switch on invites accidents. 

d)  

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. 

A wrench 

or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. 

e)  

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. 

This enables better 

control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
