1. General safety instructions
Warning!
Read all the instructions. Failure to adhere to the following instructions
may lead to electric shocks, fires and/or serious injury. The term “electrical hand
tools” in the warning text below is referring to your mains operated or battery
operated hand tool.
1) The work space
a) Keep the work space clean and well illuminated. Cluttered and poorly lit areas
invite accidents.
b) Do not use electrical hand tools in explosive environments, i.e. nearby
flammable liquids, gas or dust. Electrical hand tools generate sparks that could
easily ignite dust or fumes.
c) Keep away from children and other spectators while using the electrical hand
tool. Distractions can make you lose your concentration and control.
2) Electrical safety
a) The electrical hand tool’s plug must fit correctly in the wall socket. Never modify
the plug in any way. Never use an adaptor together with earthed electrical hand
tools. Unmodified plugs and suitable wall sockets decrease the risk of electric
shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed objects, such as pipes, radiators, ovens or
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is
earthed.
c) Do not expose the electrical hand tool to rain or other wet conditions. If water
gets inside an electrical hand tool it increases the risk of electrical shock.
d) Do not misuse the lead. Never use the lead to carry, drag or pull the plug out of
the wall socket. Keep the lead away from heat, oil, sharp edges and movable
parts. Damaged or tangled leads increase the risk of electrical shock.
e) When you use an electrical hand tool outdoors; use an extension cord suitable
for this purpose. Use of an extension cord for outdoor use decreases the risk of
electrical shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Pay attention to what you do and use common sense when using electrical hand
tools. Never use an electrical hand tool if you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. One moment of inattention while using an
electrical hand tool may result in serious injury.
b) Use protective equipment. Always use safety glasses. Using protective
equipment such as a face mask, slip resistant protection shoes, a helmet and
ear plugs when needed decreases the risk of injury.
