General safety instructions for electric
tools
1
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and
instructions.
If the safety instructions are not strictly
adhered to, there is a risk of serious injury,
electric shock or damage by fire.
z
Keep the safety instructions for future
reference.
z
The term "electric tool" used in the safety
instructions refers to both mains-powered
electric tools (with mains cable) and battery-
operated tools (without mains cable).
Workplace safety
z
Keep the working area tidy and ensure that
it is properly illuminated.
Working in
cluttered or poorly lit areas can lead to
accidents.
z
Do not use the electric tool in explosive
atmospheres containing flammable
liquids, gases or dusts.
Electric tools might
generate sparks that can ignite dust or vapors.
z
Keep electric tools away from children and
do not operate them when other persons
are standing near you.
When distracted, you
might lose control over the tool.
Electric safety
z
Protect all electric tools against rain and
dampness.
There is an increased risk of
electric shock, if water enters the electric tool.
Personal safety
z
When working with the electric tool, ensure
that your full attention is on the task in
hand, do not let yourself be distracted and
apply common sense. Do not use the
electric tool when you are tired, or when
you are under the influence of drugs
alcohol or medication.
Even brief moments
of inattention can lead to serious injury.
z
Wear personal protective equipment and
protective goggles.
Wearing personal
protective equipment such as dust mask,
safety footwear, hard hat and hearing
protection reduces the risk of injury. Whether
this equipment is necessary depends on the
type of the electric tool.
z
Avoid inadvertent start-up of the electric
tool. Ensure that the electric tool is
switched off before carrying it or
disconnecting/connecting it to the power
supply (mains or battery).
When carrying the
electric tool, do not place your finger on the
switch and do not connect it to the power
source while it is switched on, as this could
cause injury.
z
Before switching on the electric tool,
remove all adjusting tools such as
spanners, etc.
Tools or spanners left on a
rotating part can cause injury.
z
Avoid unnatural postures. Ensure that you
are standing on firm ground and avoid a
posture where you could lose your
balance.
This ensures that you will be able to
control the electric tool even in unexpected
situations.
z
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts.
Loose clothing and jewelry and long
hear can be caught in moving parts.
Proper use of electric tools
z
Do not exceed the maximum load of the
tool. Use the tool only for the intended
purpose.
To ensure safe and efficient
working, operate the electric tool only within
the specified power range.
z
Do not use electric tools whose switches
are defective.
Electric tools that cannot be
properly switched on or off are dangerous and
must be repaired without delay.
z
Before adjusting the tool, changing
accessory parts or putting the tool away for
storage, disconnect the power plug from
the socket or remove the battery.
This
safety measure reduces the risk of inadvertent
tool start.
z
Store the electric tool outside the reach of
children. Do not allow persons who have
not read these instructions to operate the
tool.
When operated by inexperienced
persons, electric tools can be very dangerous.
