Measure for preventing the danger
For your safety
Workplace safety
a) Keep your work area clean and well lit. Messy
and poorly lit work areas can lead to accidents.
b) Do not use the power tool in an explosive envi-
ronment, where there are inflammable liquids,
gases or dusts . Electrical power tools may create
sparks, which could ignite the dust or vapours.
c) Keep children and other persons away from
the power tool during use. You can lose control
of the device when distracted.
Electrical safety
a) Keep power tools away from rain and water.
The ingress of water into a power tool increases
the risk of an electric shock.
Personal safety
a) Pay attention, be aware of what you are doing
and go about your work with the electric power
tool prudently. Do not use any power tools if
you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. One moment of inatten-
tiveness when using the power tool may lead to
serious injury.
b) Wear personal protective equipment and al -
ways wear safety glasses. The wearing of per -
sonal protective equipment such as dust masks,
non-slip safety shoes, protective helmet or hear -
ing protection reduces the risk of injury depending
on the type and use of the power tool.
c) Prevent unintentional start-ups. Ensure that
the power tool is switched off before connect-
ing it to the power supply and/or the power
pack, picking it up or carrying it. If you hold your
finger to the switch when carrying the power tool
or connect the device to the power supply when it
is switched on, this can lead to accidents.
d) Remove any adjustment tools or spanners be-
fore switching the power tool on.
A tool or span -
ner located in a turning device component may
lead to injuries.
e) Adopt a normal posture. Ensure you are stand-
ing securely and that you maintain your bal-
ance at all times. This will ensure that you can
maintain better control of the power tool if unex -
pected situations occur.
f)
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear any loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose hair,
clothing, jewellery or long hair may get caught be
moving parts.
