3. Personal Safety
•
Be alert, work conscientiously and exercise
appropriate caution when using the electric tool.
Do not use the tool if you are tired or are under
the influence of drugs/medication or alcohol.
One moment of carelessness or lack of attention
when using the electric tool can cause serious
bodily injury!
•
Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE),
including safety goggles.
Wearing personal protective equipment such as a
dust mask, non-slip footwear, protective headgear
and ear muffs (depending upon the type of electric
tool and the particular application) reduces the risk
of sustaining injury.
•
Make sure that the tool cannot start up
accidentally. Ensure that the electric tool is
switched off before you connect the tool to the
power supply and/or insert the battery, or pick
up or carry the tool.
Physically touching the switch with your finger when
carrying the tool or connecting the tool to the power
supply switched on can lead to accidents.
•
Remove adjusting tools/wrench(es) prior
to switching on the power tool.
A tool or wrench that is positioned inside a rotating
power tool part can cause injury.
•
Avoid abnormal working postures. Make sure you
stand squarely and keep your balance at all times.
This way, you will be able to have better control over
the tool in unexpected situations.
•
Wear suitable clothes. Never wear loose fitting
clothes or jewelry. Keep hair, clothes and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothing, dangling jewelry and long hair can
be caught by moving parts.
•
If dust extraction and dust collection devices can
be mounted, ensure that these are connected and
are properly used.
The use of a dust extraction system can reduce the
danger posed by dust.
4. Using the treatment of electric tools
•
Do not overload your tool. Only use suitable
electric tools to perform your work.
Using the right electric tool allows you to work better
and safer within the tool’s quoted capacity range.
•
Do not use an electric tool whose switch
is defective.
An electric tool that no longer can be switched on
or off is dangerous and must be repaired.
•
Pull the plug out of the socket and/or remove the
battery before making any adjustments to the
tool, changing accessories or put the tool down.
This precaution eliminates the possibility of
inadvertently starting the tool.
•
When not in use, store electric tools out of the
reach of children. Do not allow those persons to
use this tool who are unfamiliar with it or who
have not read these instructions.
Electric tools are dangerous when they are used
by inexperienced persons.
•
Take good care of your tool. Check that moving
parts properly function and do not jam, that parts
are not broken off or damaged in any way and
that the tool can be used to its full capacity. Have
damaged parts repaired prior to using the tool.
The cause of many accidents can be traced back
to poorly maintained electric tools.
•
Keep your blades sharp and clean.
Properly maintained blades with sharp edges jam
less frequently and are easier to use.
•
Make sure to use electric tools, accessories,
attachments, etc. in accordance with these
instructions. Take the conditions in your work
area and the job in hand into account.
Using electric tools for applications other than
those intended can lead to dangerous situations.
5. Service
•
Have your tool repaired only by authorized
specialists using original replacement parts.
This will ensure that your tool remains safe to use.
