Work area

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate
power tools in explosive atmosphere, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Tools create sparks that may ignite such substance. Keep bystanders, children and
visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause loss of control.

Electrical safety

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your body contacts with such grounded surfaces.

Do not expose tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately to avoid 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.

hands of untrained users.

sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
