Personal Safety; General Power Tool Safety Warnings - TOOLCRAFT TCWS 20-LI Solo Mode D'emploi Original

b) Personal safety
• Do not use the tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of carelessness can cause serious injuries.
• Always use the tool carefully. Avoid the familiarisation effect if you have already worked with the tool a
lot. Always observe the safety instructions and always stay alert. A moment of carelessness can result
in serious accidents.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear protective goggles, sturdy shoes, long trousers, ear
defenders, breathing protection and if necessary, gloves. Never work barefoot or with sandals.
• Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear jewellery. Hair, jewellery or clothing can be caught in moving
parts, risk of injury! Therefore, use a hair net or similar if you have long hair and wear close-fitting clothes
when using the product.
• Prevent unintentional switching on of the tool. Always make sure that the on/off switch is switched off
when you store, pick up or carry the appliance and before you insert or remove the battery from the ap-
pliance. Do not carry the tool with your finger on the on/off switch.
• Remove any adjusting keys, e.g. spanners, before turning the appliance on. The tool could spin out of
control or seize up when switched on and cause injuries.
• Make sure you are stood firmly on the ground while working and avoid an abnormal posture. This makes
it much easier to control the tool in unforeseen circumstances.
• If a mechanism for connecting a suction unit is provided, ensure it is properly connected and used. Using
such a device can reduce dust related hazards.
c) General power tool safety warnings
• Do not overload power tools. Only use power tools for their intended purpose. A suitable tool does the job
better and, more importantly, more safely.
• Check the on/off switch before each use. Using the tool with a damaged on/off switch hinders control of
the tool and is therefore very dangerous.
• Always remove the battery before adjusting or storing the appliance, or changing attachments/acces-
sories. This prevents you from turning the appliance on by accident.
• Keep power tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow people who are unfamiliar with the appliance
and/or have not read and understood these original operating instructions to use it. Power tools are very
dangerous in the hands of inexperienced users.
• Service the tool regularly and check for signs of damage, dirt, incorrect settings, wear and tear or other
issues that may present a hazard. Have damaged appliances repaired by a specialist before use. Poorly
maintained tools very often lead to accidents.
• Do not use the tool with worn or dirty discs. Only suitable discs are to be used. Blunt or unsuitable discs
can get caught on something easily and lead to a loss of control over the tool.
• Use the tool and its accessories only for the specified purpose and in accordance with these original
operating instructions. Also pay attention to the working conditions and the activity. Improper use can
lead to hazardous situations.
• Use only accessories and attachments that are compatible with the slots on the appliance.
• Never attempt to switch off safety mechanisms.
• Do not use the appliance on wet materials.
