▪
AVOID ALL PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH EARTHED SURFACES, SUCH AS PIPES, RADIATORS,
COOKERS AND FRIDGES. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is connected to the earth.
▪
DO NOT EXPOSE THE TOOLS TO RAIN OR DAMP CONDITIONS. Water entering the tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
▪
DO NOT MISUSE THE LEAD. DO NOT USE THE LEAD TO CARRY, PULL OR DISCONNECT THE TOOL;
KEEP THE LEAD AWAY FROM HEAT, LUBRICANT, SHARP EDGES OR MOVING PARTS. Damaged or
tangled leads increase the risk of electric shock.
▪
WHEN USING A TOOL OUTDOORS, USE AN EXTENSION SUITABLE FOR OUTDOOR USE. Using a lead
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
▪
IF YOU CANNOT AVOID USING A TOOL IN A DAMP LOCATION, USE A POWER SUPPLY PROTECTED
BY A RESIDUAL CURRENT DIFFERENTIAL (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
▪
CONNECT THE TOOL TO THE CORRECT ELECTRICITY SUPPLY SOURCE. A higher electricity source
than the one indicated may cause serious damage to the user or the tool. Using a lower electricity source than
the one indicated in the manual may damage the motor. If you have any doubt on this subject do not connect
the tool.
▪
IF NECESSARY, USE AN EXTENSION ADAPTED TO THE TOOL. To avoid any overheating, unroll the
extension cable fully. Make sure that the extension cable section conforms to the intensity of the current
consumed by the tool.
▪
DO NOT USE THE TOOL WHEN ITS CABLE IS DAMAGED. DO NOT TOUCH THE DAMAGED CABLE.
DISCONNECT THE TOOL. Damaged cables increase the risk of electrocution.
3.3. Personal safety
▪
STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND USE COMMON SENSE. DO NOT USE A TOOL WHEN
YOU ARE TIRED OR ARE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL OR MEDICATION. Failure to
pay attention even for a moment when using the tool may cause serious injury.
▪
USE SAFETY EQUIPMENT. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Safety equipment such as dust masks, non-
slip safety shoes, helmets or acoustic protection used for the appropriate conditions will reduce all risk of injury.
▪
AVOID ANY UNPLANNED START-UP. Carrying the tool with a finger on the trigger or connecting a tool whose
switch is in on position is a source of accidents.
▪
DO NOT RUSH. KEEP A SUITABLE POSITION AND BALANCE AT ALL TIMES. This will enable better control
over the tool in unexpected situations.
▪
DRESS SUITABLY. DO NOT WEAR BULKY CLOTHING OR JEWELLERY. KEEP HAIR, CLOTHES AND
GLOVES AWAY FROM MOVING PARTS. Bulky clothing, jewellery or long hair may be caught up in moving
parts.
▪
PREVENT THE MACHINE FROM BEING USED BY CHILDREN OR UNTRAINED PEOPLE. Using the machine
without appropriate training may cause serious physical harm.
▪
ALWAYS USE THE APPROPRIATE TOOL FOR THE WORK. Do not use tools for purposes that do not conform
to their use.
3.4. Using and maintaining the tool
▪
USE THE TOOL THAT IS SUITABLE FOR YOUR APPLICATION. A suitable tool will do a good job in complete
safety.
