EGAmaster 60194 Manuel D'instructions page 11

- Do not abuse the cold. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp, edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
- When operating a power tool out doors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use
of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
- Stay alert, watch what you are doing 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, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
- Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
- Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying
power tools with your fingers on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
- 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 moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
- If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
there are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related
hazards.
- Only allow trained personnel to use the power tool. Apprentices may only operate the power
tool when they are over 16, when this is necessary for their training and when they are
supervised by a trained operative.
Power tool use and care
- Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. 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 controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
- Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
- 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 the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
- Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired by a qualified expert. 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 bind and are easier to control.
- Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to hola the workpiece. This is safer than holding
it with your hand, and also it frees both hands to operate the equipment.
- Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions and
in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation. All unauthorised modifications to the
power tool are prohibited for safety reasons.
