2. Electrical Safety
a) The cable connection must match the electrical outlet. Never change the outlet in any ways. Un- modified
outlets or plugs reduce the risk of an electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shocks if your body is earthed.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water that enters a power tool increases the risk of
electric shock.
d) Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord to carry the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cables increase the risk of electric shock.
e) Use an extension cord that is suitable for outdoor use when you are using the power tool outside.
3. Personal Safety
a) Pay attention, see what you do and use common sense when using the power tool. Do not use the power
tool when you are tired or affected by drugs, alcohol or medications. A moment of inattention when using the
power tool can result in serious injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, protective clothing,
hearing protection used under appropriate conditions reduce injuries.
c) Avoid unintentional starts. Make sure the circuit-breaker is off before plugging in the cord.
d) Remove eventual adjustment key or wrench before turning on the tool. A wrench or a key that is left on a
rotation part of the tool can result in personal injury.
e) Be stable and have good balance throughout the work. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not use loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothes and gloves away from the mo
-
ving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair can get stuck in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided with a connection for a vacuum-clean or collecting systems, make sure that they
are connected and used correctly. Use of these devices can decrease dust-related hazards.
4. Power Tools And Instruction Manual
a) Do not push the power tool. Use the right tool for the area of application. With proper use the job will be
better performed and safer.
b) Do not use the tool if the circuit-breaker does not turn on and off. A power tool that cannot be regulated
with the circuit-breaker is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Unplug the power source and/or the battery from the power tool before you do any adjustments or change
accessories. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of the tool starts by mistake.
d) Keep the power tool out of reach of children and do not let inexperienced persons use the tool. Power tools
are dangerous in the hand of unskilled users.
e) Take care of power tools. Check that wrong parts are not damaged, such parts can affect the function of
the power tool. If it is damaged, repair the tool before use. Many accidents occur because of poorly maintai-
ned power tools.
f) Use the power tool, accessories and tool pieces etc. in accordance with these instructions and in the man-
ner intended for the type of power tool in question, in light of the working conditions and the work to be perfor-
med. Using the power tool for operations that differ from those intended can result in a dangerous situation.
5. Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repairer with only identical spare parts. This ensures that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
