ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, cookers and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or
moisture. There is a greater risk of electric
shock if water gets into a power tool.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert. Pay attention to what you are
doing, and use your common sense when
working with power tools. Never use
power tools if you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
Remember that a fraction of a second of
inattention or negligence can result in
serious personal injury.
• Use personal safety equipment. Wear safety
glasses. Depending on the type of product
and how it is used, safety equipment such
as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety
helmets and ear protection reduce the risk
of personal injury.
• Avoid accidental starting. Check that the
power switch is in the OFF position before
plugging in the plug or battery, or lifting/
carrying the product. Carrying a power
tool with your finger on the switch, or
connecting a tool to the mains supply
when the switch is in the ON position,
increases the risk of accidents and injuries.
• Remove any adjuster keys and the like
before starting the product. Spanners or
the like that are left in a rotating part of
the product can cause personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm
footing and good balance. This ensures
better control over the power tool in
unexpected situations.
• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear
loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose-fitting clothing, jewellery and
long hair can get caught in moving parts.
USE AND CARE
• Do not touch the fan when the product is
in use.
• Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for the planned work.
The power tool does the job better and
safer when used at the rate for which it
was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if it cannot be
switched on and off with the power
switch. Power tools that cannot be
controlled with the power switch are
dangerous and must be repaired.
• Store power tools out of the reach of
children when not in use. Never allow
children, or anyone who is unfamiliar with
the power tool and these instructions, to
use the tool. Power tools are dangerous if
used by inexperienced people.
• Keep the power tool properly maintained.
Check that moving parts are properly
adjusted and do not jam, and that no
parts are incorrectly fitted or damaged.
Check for other factors that could affect
functionality. If the power tool is
damaged, it must be repaired before
being used again. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam
and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and bits
etc., in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the actual working
conditions and the work that is to be
done. It can be dangerous to use power
tools for purposes other than those for
which they are intended to be used.
• Keep the handles clean, dry and free from
oil and grease.
