GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
When using the machine, always observe the
enclosed safety instructions
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure
to heed warnings and follow instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep safety warnings and instructions for future
reference. The term "power tool" in the safety
warnings refers to your mains
-
operated (corded)
power tool or battery
-
operated (cordless) power
tool.
Working area
 Keep working area clean and well lit. Untidy
and dark areas can lead to accidents.
 Do not operate power tools in potentially
explosive surroundings, for example, in the
presence of inflammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
 Keep children and bystanders at a distance
when operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control of it.
Electrical safety
 Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
 Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use adapter
plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce the risk of an
electric shock.
 Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of an
electric shock if your body is earthed.
 Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. If water gets inside a power tool, it will
increase the risk of an electric shock.
 Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of an electric shock.
 When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cable suitable for outdoor use. Using a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
an electric shock.
 If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a power supply protected by a
residual current device (RCD). Using an RCD
reduces the risk of an 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 when you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention when operating a power
tool may result in serious personal injury.
 Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Using safety equipment such as a
dust mask, non
-
skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or
hearing protection whenever it is needed will
reduce the risk of personal injury.
 Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in
the off position before inserting the plug. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or
plugging in power tools when the switch is in the
on position makes accidents more likely.
 Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before
turning on the power tool. A spanner or key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
 Do not rush. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
This allows better control of the tool
in unexpected situations.
 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from the power tool. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can become entangled in
the moving parts.
 If there are devices for connecting dust
extraction and collection facilities, please ensure
that they are attached and used correctly. Using
such devices can reduce dust
-
related hazards.
Power tool use and care
 Do not expect the power tool to do more than it
can. Use the correct power tool for what you want
to do. A power tool will achieve better results and
be safer if used in the context for which it was
designed.
 Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot
turn it on and off. A power tool with a broken
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
 Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
 Store power tools, when not in use, out of the
reach of children and do not allow people who
are not familiar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate it. Power tools are
potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
