current operated circuit-breaker. Using a residual current operated circuit-breaker
avoids the risk of electric shock.
3. Safety of Persons
a) Be attentive. Pay attention to what you are doing and work sensibly with
a power tool. Do not use the tool if you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. Just a moment of inattentiveness while using the
tool can lead to serious injuries.
b) Wear personal safety equipment and always wear safety goggles Wearing
personal protective equipment, such as dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, safety helm
or ear protection, depending on the type of power tools, reduces the risk of injury.
c) Avoid accidental starting-up. Make sure that the electric tool is switched off
before you connect it to the power supply, pick it up or carry it. Accidents can
occur if you carry the power tool while your finger is on the switch or if you connect
the power tool to the power supply which it is on.
d) Remove setting tools or wrenches before switching on the power tool. A tool
or wrench that is in a rotating tool part can lead to injuries.
e) Avoid an unnatural posture. Ensure that you are standing securely and
have your balance at all times. This ensures that you can control the tool better in
unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear wide clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothes and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) This device can be used by children over the age of 8 as well as by people
with restricted physical, sensory or mental abilities or who have little
experience or knowledge about it, providing they are supervised or
instructed on how to use the device safely and what risks are involved.
Children may not play with the device. User maintenance and cleaning may not be
carried out by children unattended.
4. Usage and treatment of the electric tool
a) Do not overload the tool. Use the power tool designed for the work that you
are doing. You work better and safer in the specified performance range if you use
the suitable power tool.
b) Do not use power tools whose switch is defective. A power tool that cannot be
switched on or off is dangerous and has to be repaired.
