earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use an earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)
protected supply.
Use of an earth leakage circuit breaker
reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source and/
or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or energising
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can
reduce dust related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tools operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a. Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
b. Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
c. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws, or other small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
SERVICE
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
MACHINE-SPECIFIC SAFETY
WARNINGS
a. Use the machine only for dry sanding.
Penetration of
water into the machine increases the risk of an electric
shock.
b. Keep hands away from the sawing range. Do not reach
under the workpiece.
Contact with the saw blade can lead
to injuries.
c. Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are
hidden in the work area or call the local utility company
for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to
fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to
explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage
or may cause an electric shock.
d. When working with the machine, always hold it firmly
with both hands and provide for a secure stance.
The
power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
e. Secure the workpiece.
A workpiece clamped with clamping
devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
f. Keep your workplace clean.
Blends of materials are
particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn or
explode.
g. Avoid unintentional switching on. Ensure the On/Off
switch is in the off position before inserting battery
pack.
Carrying the power tool with your finger on the On/
Off switch or inserting the battery pack into power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
h. Do not open the battery.
Danger of shortcircuiting.
i.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g., also
against continuous sun irradiation and fire.
There
is danger of explosion.
j. In case of damage and improper use of the battery,
vapours may be emitted. Provide for fresh air and seek
medical help in case of complaints.
The vapours can
irritate the respiratory system.
k. When the battery is defective, liquid can escape and
come into contact with adjacent components. Check
any parts concerned.
Clean such parts or replace them, if
required.
l. Use the battery only in conjunction with your Dremel
power tool.
This measure alone protects the battery against
dangerous overload.
m. Wear protective gloves when changing application tools/
accessories.
Application tools/accessories become hot after
prolonged usage.
n. Do not scrape wetted materials (e. g. wallpaper) or on
moist surfaces.
Penetration of water into the machine
increases the risk of an electric shock.
o. Do not treat the surface to be worked with solvent-
containing fluids.
Materials being warmed up by the
scraping can cause toxic vapours to develop.
p. Exercise extreme caution when handling the scraper.
The accessory is very sharp; danger of injury.
!
WARNING
Do not work with materials containing
asbestos (asbestos is considered
carcinogenic).
!
WARNING
Take protective measures when during
work dust can develop that is harmful
to one's health, combustible or explosive (some dusts
are considered carcinogenic); wear a dust mask and
work with dust/ chip extraction when connectable.
