General safety instructions for power tools

WARNING! Read all safety direc-tions and instructions. Omis-sions in the compliance with safety directions and instructions can cause electrical shock, fire and/or severe injuries.

Retain all safety directions and instruc-tions for future use.

The term “Power Tools” used in the safety instructions refers to mains-operated power tools (with power cord) and to bat-tery-operated power tools (without power cord).

Work area safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit.Clutteredordarkareasinviteacci-dents.

• Do not operate power tools in ex-plosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable Iiquids, gases or dust.Powertoolscreatesparkswhichmayignitethedustorfumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.Dis-tractionscancauseyoutolosecon-trol.

Electrical safety

• 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.Unmodifiedplugsandmatch-ingoutletswillreduceriskofelectricshock

• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.Thereisanincreasedriskofelec-tricshockifyourbodyisearthedorgrounded.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.Waterenteringapowertoolwillincreasetheriskofelectricshock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or un-plugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.Damagedorentan-

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Thisenablesbettercontrolofthepowertoolinunexpectedsituations.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Looseclothes,jewel-leryorlonghaircanbecaughtinmov-ingparts.

• If devices are provided for the con-nection of dust extraction and col-lection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.Useofdustcollectioncanreducedust-relatedhazards.

Power tool use and care

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your ap-plication.Thecorrectpowertoolwilldothejobbetterandsaferattherateforwhichitwasdesigned.

• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.Anypowertoolthatcannotbecontrol-ledwiththeswitchisdangerousandmustberepaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the pow-er source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing acces-sories, or storing power tools.Suchpreventivesafetymeasuresreducetheriskofstartingthepowertoolac-cidentaIly.

• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to oper-

• When operating a power tool out-doors, use an extension cord suit-able for outdoor use.Useofacordsuitableforoutdoorusereducestheriskofelectricshock.

• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.UseofanRCDreducestheriskofelectricshock.Useasurgeprotectorwithareleasecurrentof30mAorless.

Personal safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are do-ing 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, alco-hol or medication.Amomentofinat-tentionwhiteoperatingpowertoolsmayresultinseriouspersonalinjury.

• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.Protec-tiveequipmentsuchasdustmask,non-skidsafetyshoes,hardhat,orhearingprotectionusedforappropriateconditionswillreducepersonalinju-ries.

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-po-sition before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.Carryingpowertoolswithyourfingerontheswitchorenergisingpowertoolsthathavetheswitchoninvitesaccidents.

• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.Manyaccidentsarecausedbypoorlymaintainedpowertools.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.ProperlymaintainedcuttingtoolswithsharpcuttingedgesarelessIikelytobindandareeasiertocontrol.

• 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. Useofthepowertoolforoperationsdiffer-entfromthoseintendedcouldresultinahazardoussituation.

Service

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.Thiswillensurethatthesafetyofthepowertoolismaintained.

Chain saw safety warnings:

• Keep ail parts of the body away from the saw chain wh en the chain saw is operating. Before you start the chain saw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything.Amomentofinattentionwhiteoperatingchainsawsmaycauseentanglementofyourclothingorbodywiththesawchain.

• Always hold the chain saw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle.Holdingthechainsawwithareversedhandconfigurationincreasestheriskofpersonalinjuryandshouldneverbedone.
