General Notes on Safety

Before working with the equip-
ment, familiarise yourself with
all operating components. Prac-
tice handling the equipment and
have the function, operation and
working methods explained to
you by an experienced user or
specialist. Ensure that you can
shut off the equipment imme-
diately in an emergency. Inap-
propriate use of the device may
result in serious injury.
Keep all safety information and in-
structions for future reference.
The term "power tool" used in the safety
information refers to mains-powered power
tools (with a mains cable) and to battery op-
erated power tools (with no mains cable).
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
b) Do not operate power tools in ex-
plosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable Iiquids,
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 con-
trol.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool 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 match-
ing 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 elec-
tric 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 un-
plugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entan-
gled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
e) When operating a power tool out-
doors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
f)
If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a resid-
ual current device (RCD) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk
of electric shock. Where possible, con-
nect the equipment only to a plug socket
with a leakage-current-operated circuit
breaker (FI switch), with a rated current
of not more than 30 mA.
