GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety
warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term „power tool“ in the warn-
ings refers to your mains-operated
cable hoist .
1 WORK AREA SAFETY
a)
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
b)
Do not operate power tools in ex-
plosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liq-
uids, gases or dust.
Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
c)
Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power
tool.
Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
2 ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a)
Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools.
Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock. Check that the volt-
age of your outlet corresponds to
that on the type plate of the power
supply unit.
b)
Avoid body contact with earthed
or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and re-
frigerators.
There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c)
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.
d)
When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use.
Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use re-
duces the risk of electric shock.
e)
If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable,
use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.
Use of
an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
3 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 operat-
ing power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b)
Use personal protective equip-
ment.
Protective equipment such as
non-skid safety shoes and hard hat
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, picking up or car-
rying 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 at-
tached to a rotating part of the pow-
er 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.
4 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 con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c)
Disconnect the plug from the
power source before making any
adjustments, changing accesso-
ries, 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 al-
low 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 mov-
ing parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may af-
fect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool re-
paired before use.
Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f)
Use the power tool and acces-
sories 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.
5 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.
