Safety notices

WARNING: Read all safety notices and provisions carefully. Non-
compliance with the safety notices and provisions may lead to
electric shock, fire or serious injury.
Store the safety notices and provisions in a safe place so they can
be accessed at any time.
In the safety notices, the term “devices” refers to electrically operated
devices (with power cable) or to battery operated devices (without
power cable).
1 – Safety in the work area
a) The work area has to be clean and well lit.
Untidy and dark areas can lead to accidents.
b) Electronic devices must not be used in hazardous areas such
as close to flammable liquids, gas or dust.
Electronic devices can generate sparks which ignite dust or vapours.
c) When the device is being used, no children or other people
must be nearby.
Distractions can easily lead to loss of control over the device.
2 – Electric safety
a) The plugs for the electronic devices must be designed for the
power socket. Plugs may not be modified under any circumstan -
ces.
Adapters may not be used for earthed devices. Original plugs and
suitable power sockets reduce the risk of electric shocks.
b) Avoid any physical contact with earthed surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, fridges. As soon as your body is earthed, there is an
increased risk of electric shock.
c) Devices must neither be exposed to rain nor to damp weather.
Ingress of water increases the risk of electric shock.
d) Cables must not be used outside their application in any
circumstances. In no event shall cables be used to carry, pull or
unplug the device. Keep the cable away from heat, lubricants,
edges and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cables increase the
risk of electric shock.
e) When the device is used outside, a suitable extension cable
must be used. Using cables for the outside reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f) If using the device in a damp environment cannot be avoided,
the device has to be connected to a power supply which is protec-
ted by a residual current protection system.
This decreases the risk
of electric shock.
3 – Personal safety
a) Be careful when using the device, watch what you are doing
and use your common sense. The device must not be used when
the operator is tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. Just a moment of carelessness can lead to serious inju-
ries when using devices.
b) Using safety equipment Always wear goggles.
By using safety
equipment like dust masks, nonslip safety boots, safety helmets and
hearing protection, the risk of injury can be reduced significantly.
c) Avoiding accidental switch-on Make sure the switch is set to
OFF before plugging the device into the power socket or inserting
the batteries, handling the device or carrying it. Carrying the device
with a finger on the ON-switch or plugging the device into the power
socket in the ON-position can lead to accidents.
d) Removing the setting screws before using the device. Setting
screws on the rotating parts of the device can lead to injuries.
e) Do not use excessive movements. Always be in a stable and
balanced position. This means that you can control the device better
in unforeseen situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Protect hair, clothes and gloves from rotating parts. Loose clothing,
jewellery or long hair can get caught in the rotating parts.
g) When using devices to connect dust extractions or absorbing
equipment, make sure they are connected and used correctly.
Using dust filters can reduce risks based on dust formation.
4 – Using and maintaining the device
a) Avoid over-use of the device. Use the appropriate device for
your application. The correct device guarantees better and safer wor-
king conditions when it is used for the intended purpose.
