suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
•
If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
•
Connect the equipment to a plug
socket with a leakage-current-oper-
ated circuit breaker (FI switch), with a
rated current of not more than 30 mA.
•
If the power cable for this equipment
is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, a customer service
agent of the same or a similarly quali-
fied person in order to prevent hazards.
Personal safety:
•
Stay alert, watch what you are do-
ing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alco-
hol or medication. A moment of in-
attention white operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equip-
•
ment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
•
Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-po-
sition before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, pick-
ing up or carrying the tool. Carry-
ing power tools with your finger on the
switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
•
Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the power
60
tool on. A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper
•
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
•
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from mov-
ing parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
•
If devices are provided for the con-
nection of dust extraction and col-
lection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use
of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Power tool use and care
•
Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your ap-
plication. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the
•
switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
•
Disconnect the plug from the pow-
er source and/or the battery pack
from the power tool before making
any adjust -ments, changing ac-
cessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentaIly.
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
