Important!
When using equipment, a few safety precautions
must be observed to avoid injuries and damage.
Please read the complete operating manual with due
care. Keep this manual in a safe place, so that the
information is available at all times. If you give the
equipment to any other person, give them these
operating instructions as well.
We accept no liability for damage or accidents which
arise due to non-observance of these instructions
and the safety information.
1. Safety regulations
CAUTION!
Read all safety regulations and instructions.
Any errors made in following the safety regulations
and instructions may result in an electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety regulations and instructions in a
safe place for future use.
General safety instructions for electric tools
Danger!
Read all safety regulations and instructions.
Any errors made in following the safety regulations
and instructions may result in an electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety regulations and instructions in a
safe place for future use.
The term “electric tool” used in the safety instructions
refers to electric tools operated from the mains
power supply (with a power cable) and to battery
operated electric tools (without a power cable).
1. Workplace safety
a) Keep your work area clean and well
illuminated.
Untidy or unlit work areas can result in accidents.
b) Do not operate the electric tool in an
environment where there is a risk of explosions
and where there are inflammable liquids, gases
or dust. Electric tools produce sparks which
could set the dust or vapours alight.
c)
Keep the electric tool out of the reach of children
and other persons. If there is a distraction, you
may lose control of the appliance.
2. Electrical safety
a) The connector plug from this electric tool
must fit into the socket. The plug should
never be altered in any way. Never use
adapter plugs together with earthed electric
tools.
Unaltered plugs and correct sockets
reduce the risk of an electric shock.
b) Avoid bodily contact with earthed surfaces
such as pipes, heating, ovens and fridges.
The risk of electric shock is increased if your
body is earthed.
c) Keep the tool out of the rain and away from
moisture.
The ingress of water into an electric
tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
d) Do not use the cable to carry the electric tool,
to hang it up or to pull it out of the socket.
Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp
edges and moving parts of the appliance.
Damaged or entangled cables increase the risk
of an electric shock.
e) If you are working outdoors with an electric
tool, only use extension cables which are
designed specifically for this purpose.
Using
specially designed outdoor extension cables, the
risk of electric shock is reduced.
f)
If operation of the electric tool in a damp
environment can not be avoided, use a earth-
leakage circuit-breaker. The earth-leakage
circuit-breaker reduces the risk of an electric
shock.
3. Safety of persons
a) Be careful, watch what you are doing and use
an electric tool sensibly. Do not use the tool
if you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of
inattention when using the electric tool can result
in serious injuries.
b) Wear personal protection equipment and
always wear safety goggles.
Wearing personal
protection (such as dust masks, non-slip safety
shoes, safety helmet or ear protection,
depending upon the type and use of the electric
tool) reduces the risk of injury.
c) Make sure that the appliance cannot start up
accidentally. Ensure that the electric tool is
switched off before you connect it to the
power supply and/or insert the battery, or
pick up or carry the tool.
If your finger is on the
switch whilst carrying the electric tool or if you
connect the appliance to the mains when it is
switched on, this can lead to accidents.
d) Remove keys and wrenches before switching
on the electric tool.
A tool or key which comes
into contact with rotating parts of the appliance
can lead to injuries.
