Safety Information - Matrix CP 900 Notice Originale

Important!
When using electrical equipment, a few safety
precautions must be observed to avoid injuries
and damage. Please read the complete operating
manual with due care. Retain this manual in a
safe place, so that the information is available at
all times. If you give the equipment to any other
person, hand over this operating manual as well.
We accept no liability for damage or accidents
which arise due to non-observance of these
instructions and the safety information.

1. Safety information

General safety instructions for electric tools
Caution!
Read all safety regulations and instructions.
Any errors made in following the safety
regulations and instructions may result in an
electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety regulations and instructions
in a safe place for future use.
The term "electric tool" used in the safety
instructions refers to electric tools operated from
the mains power supply (with a power cable)
and to battery operated electric tools (without a
power cable).
1. Workplace safety
a) Keep your work area clean and well
illuminated. Untidy or unlit work areas can result
in accidents.
b) Do not operate the electric tool in an
environment where there is a risk of
explosions and where there are inflammable
liquids, gases or dust. Electric tools produce
sparks which could set the dust or vapours alight.
c) Keep the electric tool out of the reach of
children and other persons. If there is a
distraction, you may lose control of the appliance.
2. Electrical safety
a) The connector plug from this electric tool
must fit into the socket. The plug should
never be altered in any way. Never use
adapter plugs together with earthed electric
tools. Unaltered plugs and correct sockets
reduce the risk of an electric shock.
b) Avoid bodily contact with earthed surfaces
such as pipes, heating, ovens and fridges.
The risk of electric shock is increased if your body
is earthed.
c) Keep the tool out of the rain and away from
moisture. The ingress of water into an electric
tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
d) Do not use the cable to carry the electric
tool, to hang it up or to pull it out of the
socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil,
sharp edges and moving parts of the
appliance. Damaged or entangled cables
increase the risk of an electric shock.
e) If you are working outdoors with an electric
tool, only use extension cables which are
designed specifically for this purpose. Using
specially designed outdoor extension cables, the
risk of electric shock is reduced.
f) If operation of the electric tool in a damp
environment can not be avoided, use a
earthleakage circuit-breaker. The earth-leakage
circuit-breaker reduces the risk of an electric
shock.
3. Safety of persons
a) Be careful, watch what you are doing and
use an electric tool sensibly. Do not use the
tool if you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention when using the electric tool can
result in serious injuries.
b) Wear personal protection equipment and
always wear safety goggles. Wearing personal
protection (such as dust masks, non-slip safety
