2. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Carefully read, remember and keep these safety instructions
WARNING! In the use of electric machines and power tools, it is necessary to respect
and follow the following safety instructions for the reasons of protection against electric
shock, personal injury and danger of fire. The term “power tool” in the instructions below
refers both to mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Workplace
Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas in the workplace invite
accidents. Store power tools that you don’t currently use.
Do not operate power tools in environments with danger of occurrence of a fire or explosion,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep unauthorised persons, especially children, away from the work area while operating
a power tool! Distractions can cause you to lose control over the performed activity. In no
event leave your power tool unattended. Keep the equipment away from animals.
Electrical Safety
Power tool plugs must match the mains socket outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Undamaged plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. Damaged or fouled supply cables increase
the risk of electric shock. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a new power
cord which is available at the authorised service centre or the importer.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cooking
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
If an extension cord is used, always check whether its technical parameters match the
information specified in the type label of the power tool. When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. If extension drums are used, these
must be rolled out to prevent overheating of the cord.
If a power tool is operated in a damp location or outdoors, its operation is only permitted if
connected to an electric circuit protected by a residual current device <30 mA. Use of residual
current device (RCD) reduces the risk of electric shock.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only as the cutting or drilling tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own power cord during operation.
