c)
Keep the tool out of the rain. The penetration of water into a power tool increases the
risk of electric shock.
d)
Use with an RCD adaptor.
e)
Do not use the cable to carry or hang up the tool or to pull the plug out of the socket.
Keep the cable away from heat, oil and sharp edges or moving parts of the tool.
Damaged or tangled cables increase the risk of electric shock.
f)
When operating a power tool outdoors, use exclusively extension cables that are
approved for outdoor-use. The use of an extension cable that is suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety:
a)
Always pay attention to what you do and apply reasonable care when working with a
power tool. Do not use the tool when you are tired or under the influence of
medication, drugs or alcohol. When working with power tools even a short moment of
inattentiveness may result in severe injury.
b)
Wear personal protection equipment and always wear eye protection (safety goggles).
Wearing personal protection equipment such as a dust mask, nonslip safety shoes,
safety helmet, ear protectors, protective gloves (depending on the type and use of the
tool) reduces the risk of injury.
c)
Avoid unintentional operation. Make sure that the switch is in ‘OFF’ position before
pulling the plug from the mains socket. When carrying the tool with your finger on the
on/off switch or connecting the tool to the mains supply with the switch in ‘ON’ position,
this may result in accidents.
d)
Remove adjustment tools or wrenches and the like before you switch the tool on. A
wrench or another tool that is inside or on a turning part of the tool may cause injury.
e)
Do not overestimate your abilities. Take care of a safe footing and keep your balance at
all times. This will allow you to better control the tool in unexpected situations.
f)
Wear suitable clothes. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothes
and gloves clear of all moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair may get
caught in moving parts.
g)
If dust extraction/collection devices are provided make sure that they are connected and
used properly. The use of these devices reduces hazards caused by dust.
4) Careful handling and use of power tools:
a)
Do not overtax the power tool. Use the power tool intended for your type of work in
each case. The use of the suitable power tool within the stated range of performance
makes working more effective and safe.
b)
Do not use a power tool with a damaged switch. A power tool that cannot be switched
on or off any more is dangerous and must be repaired.
c)
Pull the mains plug out of the socket before you adjust a tool, change accessories or put
the tool aside. This precaution avoids the unintentional start of the tool.
d)
Store power tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow persons to use the tool if
they are not familiar with the tool or these instructions. Power tools are dangerous if
used by inexperienced people.
e)
Thoroughly maintain your power tool. Check whether moving parts are working properly
and are not jamming/sticking, and whether parts are broken or otherwise damaged in a
way that affects the function of the tool. Have damaged parts repaired before using the
tool. Many accidents are the result of poorly maintained power tools.
f)
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Thoroughly looked-after cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges jam less often and are easier to guide.
