5. Safety rules
5.1 General safety rules
WARNING! Read all instructions! Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in
all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains
operated (corded) power tool or battery operated
(cordless) power tool. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
5.1.1 Work area
a) Keep work area clean and well lit . Cluttered and
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Powertoolscreatesparks
which may ignite dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while oper-
ating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
5.1.2 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 matching 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 electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
theriskofelectricshock.
d) 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.
e) 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.
5.1.3 Personal safety
a) 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.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye pro-
tection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro-
tection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or
