5 GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to heed warnings and follow instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep safety warnings and instructions
for future reference. The term "power tool" in the safety warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

5.1

Working area

§ Keep working area clean and well lit. Untidy and dark areas can lead to accidents.
§ Do not operate power tools in potentially explosive surroundings, for example, in the

presence of inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.

§ Keep children and bystanders at a distance when operating a power tool. Distractions can

cause you to lose control of it.

5.2

Electrical safety

Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the
rating plate.

§ Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use

adapter plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce the risk of a lethal electric shock.

§ Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of a lethal electric shock if your body is earthed.

§ Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If water gets inside a power tool, it will

increase the risk of a lethal electric shock.

§ Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power

tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of a lethal electric shock.

§ When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use.

Using a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of a lethal electric shock.
