Electrical safety
•
If these instructions are disregarded there is an increased risk of electric shock.
•
The connection plug of the electrical tool must be the correct type for the socket. The plug must not be
modified in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs in conjunction with electrical tools that reply on the
protective ground in the socket.
•
Avoid bringing your body into contact with grounded equipment such as pipes, radiators, cookers and
fridges.
•
Do not expose electrical tools to rain or wet conditions.
•
Do not use wires and cables for purposes for which they are not intended, i.e. to carry the electrical tool,
suspend it or pull the plug out of the socket. Keep the power cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges and
moving parts.
•
If you are working outdoors with an electrical tool, use only extension cables that are specifically intended
for use outdoors.
•
Connect the tool only to a power socket that is protected with a suitable residual current circuit-breaker.
•
Before starting work with the electrical tool, carefully check that there are no live parts in the working area. If
necessary, take protective measures appropriate for working in the vicinity of live parts.
2.6
Safety of personnel
•
Be alert and take care what you are doing - be sensible when working with an electrical tool. Never use an
electrical tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
when using an electrical tool can lead to serious injuries.
•
Always wear safety glasses and wear other personal protective equipment appropriate to the work you are
performing with the electrical tool, such as dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmet or ear defenders.
Wearing personal protective equipment reduces the risk of injuries.
•
Avoid starting the tool up accidentally. Make sure that the electrical tool is switched off before you connect it
to the power supply and / or plug the battery in, pick it up or carry it. If you have your finger on the trigger
when carrying the electrical tool, or the electrical tool is switched on when it is connected to the power
supply / battery, this can lead to accidents.
•
Avoid any abnormal bodily posture. Make sure you are standing comfortably and are well balanced at all
times. This allows you to control the electrical tool better in the event of any unexpected situation.
