2.1.0 WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. 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.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to loose control.
2.2.0 ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. 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.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators or
refridgerators.
There is an increased risk of an electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or moisture.
Risk of electric shock increases, if the water enters into power tool.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Do not carry or pull the power tool, or pull the plug by pulling the
cord. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use proper extension of cord for outdoors.
Suitable cord for outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock.
6. If the use of a power tool in a damp location is necessary, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected power source.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

7
2.3.0 PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, be careful and use the power tool with caution.
Do not use the power tool when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Losing
concentration for a moment can cause serious personal injury.

condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before the use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
7. 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.
