Workplace safety
z Keep the working area tidy and ensure that it is properly
illuminated. Working in cluttered or poorly lit areas can lead to
accidents.
z Do not use the electric tool in explosive atmospheres
containing flammable liquids, gases or dusts. Electric tools
might generate sparks that can ignite dust or vapors.
z Keep electric tools away from children and do not operate
them when other persons are standing near you. When
distracted, you might lose control over the tool.
Electric safety
z The power plug of the electric tool must fit properly into the
mains socket. Do not modify the plug in any way. Do not use
adapters to connect earthed electrical tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
z Avoid contact with earthed objects such as pipes,
radiators, cookers and refrigerators. When your body is in
contact with an earthed device, there is an increased risk of
electric shock.
z Protect all electric tools against rain and dampness. There
is an increased risk of electric shock, if water enters the electric
tool.
z Do not carry or suspend the tool by the power cable and do
not pull the cable to disconnect the plug from the socket.
Keep the cable away from heat sources, oil, sharp edges
and moving tool parts. Damaged or entangled cables increase
the risk of electric shock.
z When using the electric tool outdoors, use only extension
leads that are designed for outdoor use. The use of extension
leads designed for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
z If it is not possible to avoid using the electric tool in a wet
environment, use a fault current circuit breaker. The use of
a fault current circuit breaker reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
z When working with the electric tool, ensure that your full
attention is on the task in hand, do not let yourself be
distracted and apply common sense. Do not use the electric
tool when you are tired, or when you are under the influence
of drugs alcohol or medication. Even brief moments of
inattention can lead to serious injury.
