General instructions for electric
tools
WARNING
Read all safety instructions and manuals. Failure to
follow the safety instructions and manuals may result
in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injuries.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term „electric tools" used in the safety instruc-
tions refers to electricity-powered tools (including
electric cable) and battery-powered tools (without
electric cable).
1) Safety in the place of work
a) Keep the place of your work clean and well lit.
Mess or an unlit workplace may lead to injuries.
b) Do not work with electric tools in conditions
with fl ammable liquids, gases or dust. Electric
tools produce sparks able to ignite dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and other persons outside the
place where the electric tools are used. When
not concentrated, you may lose control over the
machine.
2) Electrical safety
a) The plug of an electric tool must strictly
correspond to the socket. The plug must not
be altered in any case. Do not use any adapters
together with earthed electric tools. Unaltered
plugs and appropriate sockets reduce the risk of
electric shock.
b) Prevent contact of your body with earthed
surfaces, such as tubes, heating, cookers and
fridges. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed.
c) Do not expose electric tools to rain and moisture.
Water entered in electric tools increases the risk of
electric shock.
d) Do not use the cable in confl ict with its designa-
tion, to carry or hang electric tools or to pull the
plug out of socket. Protect the cable against high
temperatures, oil, sharp edges or moving parts
of the machine. Damaged or entangled cables
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When working with electric tools outdoors, use
extension cables suitable for outdoor use. Using
an extension cable suitable for outdoor use redu-
ces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating electric tools in wet conditions can-
not be avoided, use a safety switch against stray
current. Using a safety switch against stray current
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Safety of persons
a) Be careful, pay attention to what you are doing
and use common sense when working with
electric tools. Do not use electric tools when you
are tired or under the infl uence of drugs, alcohol
or pharmaceuticals. A moment if inattention when
using electric tools may lead to serious injuries.
b) Use personal protective equipment and protec-
tive glasses at all times. Using personal protective
equipment, such as the respirator, non-slip shoes,
protective helmet or ear protectors, depending on
the type and use of electric tools, reduces the risk
of injuries.
c) Prevent the machine from unintentional starting.
Before plugging and/or connecting the machine
to battery, handling or carrying, make sure the
electric tools are switched off . Having a fi nger on
the switch when carrying the electric tool or when
the machine is on when plugging it may lead to
injuries.
d) Before starting any electric tool, remove any
adjusting wrenches and screwdrivers. A tool or a
wrench present in the rotating part of the machine
may lead to injuries.
e) Avoid any abnormal body posture. Provide good
stability and keep balance at all times. By this,
electric tools are better controlled in unexpected
situations.
f) Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing and jewels. Keep hair, clothing and glo-
ves out of rotating parts. Loose clothing, jewels
and long hair may get caught by moving parts.
g) If dust exhausters and catchers are to be
installed, make sure they are fi tted and used
properly. Using a dust exhauster may reduce the
exposure to dust.
4) Use and treatment of electric tools
a) Do not overload the machine. Use appropriate
electric tools for your work. Working with appro-
