4.2 On use of electrical appliances
Work area
•
Keep your work area clean and tidy. A messy or unlit work area can cause
accidents.
•
Keep children and other persons at a distance when using the product.
Electrical safety
•
The plug on the unit must fit in the socket. Do not modify the plug in any way.
Never use an adapter in combination with earthed appliances. Using an
unmodified plug and a suitable socket will reduce the risk of an electric shock.
•
Avoid bodily contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, heating units,
cookers and refrigerators. The risk of an electric shock is greater when your body
is earthed.
•
Keep the appliance away from rain or damp. Allowing water to get into an electric
appliance will increase the risk of electric shock.
•
Do not misuse the cable by using it to remove the plug from the socket. Always
remove whilst holding onto the plug. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or the moving parts of other appliances. Using damaged or tangled cables
increases the risk of electric shock.
•
When working with an appliance outdoors, only use extension cables which
are permitted for outdoor use. Using an extension cable suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
Safety guidelines for persons

Be attentive and pay attention to what you are doing, act rationally when
working with an electrical appliance. Do not use the appliance when tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
Just one moment of inattention whilst using the appliance can result in serious injury.
•
Make sure the appliance cannot be switched on unintentionally. Double check
that the main switch is in the "OFF" position before inserting the plug in the
socket. Connecting the appliance to the power supply while it is switched on
can cause an accident.
Careful handling and use of electrical appliances
•
Never use an electrical appliance with a faulty switch. An electrical appliance
which can no longer be switched on or off is dangerous and must be repaired.
•
Keep unused electrical appliances in places where children are not able to
reach them. Do not allow the appliance to be used by persons who are not
familiar with it or persons who are not familiar with this user guide. Electrical
appliances are dangerous when in the hands of inexperienced persons.
•
Handle the appliance carefully. Make sure all moving parts of the appliance
work perfectly and are not jammed, also check whether any parts are broken or
damaged to the extent that operation of the appliance is impaired. Have any
damaged parts repaired before using the appliance. Many accidents are caused
by poorly-maintained electric appliances.
