Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well
•
lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
Do not operate power tools in
•
explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable
Iiquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders
•
away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.

Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the
•
outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapt-
er plugs with earthed (ground-
ed) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock
Avoid body contact with earthed
•
or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and re-
frigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to
•
rain or wet conditions. Water en-
tering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
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.
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.
If operating a power tool in a
•
damp location is unavoidable,
use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
•
If the replacement of the supply cord is
necessary, this has to be done by the
manufacturer or his agent in order to
avoid a safety hazard.
