Personal safety
• Pay attention to what you do and use common sense when using electrical hand tools.
Never use an electrical hand tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. One moment of not paying attention while using an electrical hand tool
may result in serious injury.
• Use protective equipment. Always use safety glasses. Using protective equipment
such as a face mask, slip resistant protective shoes, a helmet and ear defenders when
needed decreases the risk of injury.
• Avoid unexpected starts. Make sure that the switch is set to OFF before you connect
the device to the wall socket. Never carry an electrical hand tool with one finger on
the trigger or never connect the hand tool to a wall socket when the switch is set to ON,
since it may result in injury.
• Remove all service tools/keys before switching on the hand tool. A forgotten service tool
on a rotating part of the electrical hand tool may result in injury.
• Do not overreach. Make sure you stand steady and well balanced at all times.
This gives better control in unexpected situations.
• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose fitting clothes or jewellery. Keep hair, clothes
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose fitting clothes, jewellery or long hair could
get caught in moving parts.
• If the equipment for suctioning or collecting dust is available make sure it is connected
and used properly. Using technical aids may reduce dust related hazards.
Use and maintenance of the electrical hand tool
• Do not overdrive the hand tool. Use a hand tool suitable for the work you are to perform.
At the correct rate of feed, the correct tool will carry out the work better and more safely.
• Never use the electrical hand tool if the switch does not work properly to turn on and
shut off the tool. All electrical hand tools that can not be operated by the switch are
dangerous and must be repaired.
• Unplug the lead from the wall socket before making any adjustments, changes of
accessories or storing the electrical hand tool away. These precautions reduce the risk
of unexpected start of the electrical hand tool.
• Store electrical hand tools that are not being used out of reach from children. Do not let
people unfamiliar with the electrical hand tool or its instructions use it. Electrical hand
tools can be dangerous if they get into the hands of inexperienced users.
• Inspect electrical hand tools regularly. Check that all settings are correct, that no
moving parts are getting jammed, that no parts are broken and for anything else that
might cause the electrical hand tool to malfunction. If something is damaged it must
be repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained electrical
hand tools.
• Keep the tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp blades are
less likely to jam and are easier to control.
• Use the electrical hand tool, accessories and such according to the instructions and in
a way suitable for the type of electrical hand tool used. Using the electrical hand tool
for work other than that for which it is intended could result in a dangerous situation.
