Personal Safety; Specific Safety Rules - STAMOS S-PLASMA 55H Manuel D'utilisation

• Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double
insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and groun-
ded power supply system.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the tool or
pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges,
or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged Power
Cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord. These ex-
tension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety

• Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep
your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Avoid accidental staring. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging in. Car-
rying power tools with your finger on the Power Switch, or plugging in power
tools with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key that is 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. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Tool Use and Care
• Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work piece by hand against your body
is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off. Any
tool that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be
replaced.

• Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any adju-
stments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools maintained and clean. Properly maintai-
ned tools are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Do not use a damaged
tool. Tag damaged tools "Do not use" until repaired.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool ser-
viced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used
on another tool.
Service
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric
shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

• Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry important information. If
unreadable or missing, contact our service team for a replacement.
• Always wear the approved safety impact eye goggles and heavy work gloves when
suing the tool. Using personal safety devices reduce the risk for injury.
• Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure there
is adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of obstruc-
tions, grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do not use a power tool in areas near
flammable chemicals, dusts, and vapors. Do not use this product in a damp or wet
location.
• Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure you are prepared to begin work before
turning on the tool.
• Never leave the tool unattended when it is plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn
off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.
• Always unplug the tool from its electrical outlet before performing and inspection,
maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
• Prevent eye injury and burns. Wearing and using the approved personal safe ty
clothing and safety devices reduce the risk for injury.
