Rules For Operation - Efco SAi 60 Mode D'emploi

Store all warnings and instructions for future reference. The
term "power tool" mentioned in the warnings refers to your
equipment powered by a battery (cordless).
1) Safety in the work area
a) Keep the work area clean. Dirty and cluttered areas promote
accidents.
b) Do not use the power tool in potentially explosive
atmospheres, in the presence of flammable liquids, gas or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away when using a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Avoid bodily contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. The risk of
electric shock increases if your body is earthed or grounded.
b) Do not expose the power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, check what you are doing and use common sense
when using a power tool. Do not use the power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of distraction while operating a
power tool may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use protective clothing. Always wear protective spectacles.
The use of protective equipment such as dust masks, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hats, or ear muffs, reduces personal
injury.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Make sure the tool is
switched off before inserting the battery, picking up or
carrying the power tool. Carrying a power tool with the
finger on the switch and the battery installed promotes
accidents.
d) Remove each adjusting key or wrench before operating the
power tool. A key or wrench left attached to a rotating part
may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. This allows better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction
and collection systems, ensure these are connected and
properly used. The use of these devices can reduce dust-
related hazards.
h) Do not let the familiarity gained with the frequent use of
the tools allow you to become careless and ignore the
safety principles of the tools. An act of negligence can
cause serious injury in a fraction of a second.
i) If you wish to give or lend the machine to others, make sure
that the user sees the instructions for use contained in this
manual.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not overload the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for the job. The correct power tool will do the job better and
more safely at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on
and off. A power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Remove the rechargeable battery from its housing before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or before
storing the power tool. These preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of accidentally starting up the power tool.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Take care of power tool maintenance. Check that moving
parts are aligned and can move freely, that no parts are
broken, and for any other condition that may affect the
operation of the power tool. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poor
maintenance.
f) Use the power tool and its accessories according to the
instructions given, considering the working conditions and
the type of work to be performed. Using the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result in
hazardous situations.
g) Keep handles and grip surfaces dry, clean, and free from
oil and grease. Slippery handles and grip surfaces do not
enable safe handling and control of the machine in
unforeseen situations.
5) Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only original spare parts. This will ensure the safety of the
power tool.
