SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
Read all warnings, safety instructions and
other instructions. Failure to follow all the
instructions and safety instructions can
result in the risk of electric shock, fire and/
or serious personal injury. Save these
instructions and safety instructions for
future reference. The term "power tool" in
the warnings below refers to your
mains-powered (corded) or battery-
powered (cordless) power tool.
•
Keep the work area clean and well lit.
Dark and cluttered work areas increase
the risk of accidents and injuries.
•
Do not use power tools in explosive
environments, such as in the vicinity of
flammable liquids, gas or dust. Power
tools produce sparks that can ignite dust
and fumes.
•
Keep children and onlookers at a safe
distance when using power tools. You can
easily lose control of the tool if you are
distracted.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•
Check that the mains voltage corresponds
to the rated voltage on the type plate.
•
The plug on the power tool must match
the power point. Never modify the plug in
any way. Never use an adapter with
earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching power points reduce the
risk of electric shock.
•
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.
•
Be careful with the power cord. Never use
the power cord to carry or pull the power
tool, or to pull out the plug from the
mains. Keep the power cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts.
20
Damaged or tangled power cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
•
If the tool is used outdoors, only use an
extension cord approved for outdoor use.
Cords intended for outdoor use reduce the
risk of electric shock.
•
If it is absolutely necessary to use power
tools in damp conditions, use a power
point protected by a residual current
device. Using an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
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. A moment
of inattention when using a power tool can
result in serious personal injury.
•
Use safety equipment. Always wear safety
glasses. Depending on the type of power
tool 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 switched off before
plugging in the power cord. 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 Allen keys/spanners etc. before
starting the power tool. Allen keys, or the
like, left in a rotating part of a power tool
can cause personal injury.
•
Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm
footing and good balance. This will ensure
you have better control over the 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.
