The accompanying list of safety precautions
and the applicable regulations issued by your
trade association must be observed.
1. Safety rules
1.1 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
1.1.1 Work area
a) Keep the work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explo-
sive 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.
Dis-
tractions can cause you to lose control.
1.1.2 Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the out-
let. 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 approved for
outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
1.1.3 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 inattention while
operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection.
Safety equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid 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 foot-
ing and balance at all times.
This
enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the con-
nection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of these
devices can reduce dust related hazards.
1.1.4 Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
Read the operating
instructions before use
