General Power Tool Safety Instructions ṇ 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 warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the safety instructions refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. 1 Work safety a Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Untidy or unlit work areas can lead to accidents. b 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. c Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control of the device. 2 Electrical safety a 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. b Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. 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 personal protective equipment and always wear safety goggles. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce the risk of personal injuries. c Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure that the power tool is switched off before connecting the power supply and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or connecting the power supply to a device that is already switched on can lead to accidents. d 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. e Do not overreach. Keep a firm footing and maintain your balance at all times. This ena- 10 English
