5 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all safety warnings and instructions.
5.1 Working area
▪ Keep working area clean and well lit. Untidy and dark areas can lead to accidents.
▪ Do not operate tools in potentially explosive surroundings, for example, in the presence of
inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
▪ Keep children and bystanders at a distance when operating a tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control of it.
5.2 Personal safety
▪ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a tool. Do
not use a tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention when operating a tool may result in serious personal injury.
▪ Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Using safety equipment such as a
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection whenever it is needed
will reduce the risk of personal injury.
▪ Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on the tool. A spanner or key left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
