11. General safety instructions
Electric safety
a)
The power cord plug shall always suit the socket. Never adjust the
socket. Do not use plug hubs. Non-adjusted plugs and appropriate
sockets reduce the risk of electric shock injury.
b)
Prevent body contact with conductive surfaces to avoid a risk of electric
shock injury.
c)
Do not expose the tool to rain or wet locations. Presence of water in
electric tool highly increases the risk of electric shock injury.
d)
Do not force the cord. Keep the cord away from heat sources, oil, sharp
edges or movable parts. Damaged cord increases a risk of electric
shock injury.
e)
When manipulating in exterior areas consider an extension cord
intended for outdoor use specifically. Using an exterior extension cord
decreases a risk of electric shock injury.
f)
It is strictly recommended to use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
when manipulating the tool in a wet area. Using of GFCI decreases a
risk of electric shock injury.
g)
A double insulated tool is equipped with a polarized plug (one prong is
wider than the other). If the connector does not fully suit the socket, turn
the plug. Do not change the plug by any means. Double insulation
eliminates the need for grounding of power cord and power supply
system.
Personal safety
a)
Stay alert and do not use the tool when under influence of alcohol.
b)
Use safety glasses and face or dust mask. Wear protective hearing
equipment, helmet and boots.
c)
Avoid unintentional starting. Before connecting to power source or
battery, make sure the switch is at OFF position.
d)
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be
caught with moving parts.
e)
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
.
Tool or adjusting key you leave
attached to a turning part of the tool may cause injury.
f)
Do not overreach. Proper footing and balance at all times allow better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
g)
Use approved protective equipment only.
Electric tool handling and maintenance
a)
Do not force the tool.
b)
Do not use if the ON/OFF switch does not work properly.
c)
Disconnect the plug from socket and/or battery from the tool prior any
adjustment, accessory replacement or storage of tool. These
preventive safety precautions reduce a risk of accidental starting of tool.
