General safety information for power tools
WARNING!
Read all safety information and instructions. Failure to follow the safety information and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety information and instructions for future reference.
The term power tool used in the safety information refers to both mains-operated power tools (with
power cord) and battery-powered power tools (without power cord).
Workplace safety
- Keep your work area clean and well lit. Clutter or unlit work areas can lead to accidents.
- Do not work with the power tool in potentially explosive environments containing flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools generate sparks that can ignite the dust or vapours.
- Keep children and other people away while using the power tool. If distracted, you may lose control
of the device.
Electrical safety
- The plug of the power tool must fit into the socket. The plug must not be altered in any way. Do
not use adapter plugs together with grounded power tools. Unmodified plugs and suitable sockets
reduce the risk of electric shock.
- Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, heaters, stoves and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.

applications other than those intended can lead to dangerous situations.
Use and handling of the cordless tool
- Charge the batteries only with chargers recommended by the manufacturer. Using a charger that is
suitable for a particular type of battery creates a fire hazard when used with other batteries.
- Only use the rechargeable batteries in power tools that are designed for this purpose. Use of other
batteries may manage injury and a fire hazard.
- Keep the unused battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal
objects that could cause the contacts to bridge. A short circuit between the battery contacts may
cause burns or fire.
