5 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all safety warnings and instructions.
5.1 Working area
- Keep working area clean and well lit. Untidy and dark
areas can lead to accidents.
- Do
not
operate
surroundings, for example, in the presence of
inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders at a distance when
operating a tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control of it.
5.2 Personal safety
- Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a tool. Do not use a tool when
you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention when operating a
tool may result in serious personal injury.
- Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Using safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection
whenever it is needed will reduce the risk of personal
injury.
- Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning
on the tool. A spanner or key left attached to a rotating
part of the tool may result in personal injury.
- Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the
ground at all times. This will enable you retain control
over the tool in unexpected situations.
