The term “Power Tools” used in the safety instructions refers to mains-operated power tools (with power cord) and battery-operated power tools (without power cord).
3.1. Safety of working area

• Keep the work area clean and light. Cluttered or dark areas will cause accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive and flammable atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create
  sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
  Distractions can cause you to lose control of the power tool.

3.2. Electrical Safety

• Follow the instructions for the charger.
