General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Work area
safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
• 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.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Electrical
safety
• Power tool or power adapter 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.
• 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.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering 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.
Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as protective mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, hearing protection or tight-fitting protective
clothing used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
• 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.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Personal
safety
• 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.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Power tool
use and care
General Battery Pack / Charger Safety Warnings
• 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.
• 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.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and / or
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• 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.
• Maintain power tools and accessories carefully. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and gripping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and gripping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
• Do not charge other battery packs. The charger is only
suitable for use with the supplied battery pack and with
the voltages specified in the technical data. Otherwise,
there is a risk of fire and explosion.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery. Avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
• In case of damage and improper use of the battery,
vapours may be emitted. Provide for fresh air and seek
medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can
irritate the respiratory system.
• Do not open the battery. There is danger of a short
circuit.
• Do not short-circuit the battery. There is danger of
explosion.
• Batteries must not be exposed to mechanical impacts.
• Protect electrical parts against moisture. To prevent an
electric shock, never immerse them in water or other
liquids during cleaning or operation. Never hold the
charger under running water. Please observe the
instructions for cleaning and maintenance.
• The charger is only suited for indoor use.
• Keep the charger clean. Contamination entails a risk of
electric shock.
• Do not operate the charger on highly combustible
ground (e.g. paper, textiles etc.) or in an inflammable
environment. The heat generated by the charger during
charging entails a risk of fire.
• Only use the charger for charging the battery. The
charger must not be used as power supply for the power
tool.
