General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all war-nings and instructions for future reference.
The term „power tool“ in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (cordepower tool or battery-opera-ted (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit.  Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-spheres, 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 ope-rating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (groundepower tools.  Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded  surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refri-gerators.  There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-ditions.  Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

• 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.

• 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.

• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCprotected supply.  Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

• A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.  A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.  This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.  Loose clothes, jewelle-ry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of  dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.  Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

Power tool use and care

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct po-wer tool for your application.  The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.  Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.  Such pre-ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of child-ren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.  Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Treat electric tools carefully. Check whether the moving parts work perfectly and do not drag, whether not broken or damaged to such an extent that functioning of electric tools could be affected. Have any damaged parts repaired before using the machine. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.  Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• 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.  Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Using and treatment of cordless tools.

• Charge the batteries only in chargers recom-mended by the manufacturer. Risk of fire for a charger suitable only for a certain type of batteries or, as appropriate, accumulators, if used for other accumulators.

• Use only such accumulators in this electric appliance that have been designed for this appliance. Use of other accumulators may lead to injuries and risk of fire.

• Do not leave an accumulator not being used near office clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
  or other small metal items that could cause contact bridging. Short circuit between accumu-lator contacts may result in burns or fire.

• Liquid may leak from an accumulator if used improperly. Prevent contact with such liquid. Rinse an affected body part with water in case of accidental contact. If liquid gets to your eye, seek medical advice.Liquid leaking from a battery may cause skin irritation or burns.

Service

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.  This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
