electric tool. Failure to do this may result in the risk of electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
1) OPERATIONAL SAFETY:
- The workplace shall be clean and properly illuminated. Accidents are likely to happen in dark and messy
places.
- Do not use the electric tool in areas with the risk of explosion or the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. The electric device might generate sparks that could ignite the dust or fumes.
- When using the electric tool, keep the children and other people out of the area. If you will be disturbed,
you might lose control over the device.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
- Pins of the electric plug shall be compatible with the socket. Never modify the electric cable by any means.
If the plug of the tool has the earth pin, never connect it through a two-way adaptor or other adaptors.
Undamaged plugs and sockets lower the risk of electric shock. Damaged or tangled cables increase the risk
of electric shock. If the cable is damaged, it shall be replaced with similar cable that can be obtained from
the manufacturer or their sales representative.
- Body of the operator shall not touch grounded objects like pipeline, central heating device, cookers or
fridges. If your body is connected to the ground, the risk of electric shock is higher.

Never wash the electric tool in running tap water and never dip it into water.
- The cable shall not be overstretched. Never unplug the electric tool by pulling out the cable. Keep the cable
away from warm objects, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or tangled cables increase the risk of
electric shock.
- Never work with the tool with damaged cable or plug, or if it has fallen to the ground and was damaged.
- When using the tool outside, use the extension cable suitable for external use. Doing so lowers the risk of
electric shock.
- If you use the electric tool in wet areas, please use the power supply protected by residual-current device.
Residual-current device decreases the risk of electric shock. Term “residual-current device” has an equivalent
term “ground fault circuit interrupter” or “earth leakage circuit breaker”.
