2. Special Safety Rules
Important:
Whenever you use electric tools it is imperative
to take basic safety precautions in order to reduce the risk
of fire, electric shock and personal injury. Essential safety
precautions include:
1. Keep your work area tidy!
- An untidy work area invites accidents.
2. Check the working conditions!
- Do not expose electric tools to rain.
- Never use electric tools in damp or wet locations.
- Make sure there is good lighting.
- Do not use electric tools near flammable liquids or gases.
3. Guard against electric shock!
- Avoid body contact with earthed components.
4. Keep other persons away!
- Do not allow other persons, particularly children, to touch
the tool or cable. Keep all persons out of your work area.
5. Store tools in a safe place!
- When tools are not in use they should be stored in a dry,
locked room out of children’s reach.
6. Do not overload your tools!
- Tools work better and safer when used within their
quoted capacity range.
7. Use the right tool!
- Never use tools or attachments with insufficient power for
the job in hand.
- Never use tools on jobs for which they were not intended.
For example, do not use a hand-held circular saw to cut
down trees or lop off branches.
8. Wear suitable work clothes!
- Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery as they may get
caught in moving parts.
-
Non-slip shoes are recommended when working outdoors.
- Wear a hair net if you have long hair.
9. Use personal safety equipment!
- Wear safety goggles.
- Use a dust mask when working on dusty jobs
10. Connect up a vacuum extraction system!
- If there are provisions for connecting up a vacuum
extraction system, make sure that such a system is fitted
and in use.
11. Do not mis-use the cable!
- Do not carry the tool by its cable or pull on the cable to
remove the plug from the socket-outlet.
Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.
12. Secure your workpiece!
- Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece securely.
This is safer than using your hand and will enable you to
operate the machine with both hands.
13. Avoid abnormal working postures!
- Make sure you stand squarely and keep your balance at
all times.
14. Look after your tools!
- Keep your tools sharp and clean for better and safer
performance.
- Follow the instructions for maintenance work and for
changing any attachments.
- Check the plug and cable regularly and, if damaged, have
them replaced by an authorized specialist.
- Check the extension cable regularly and replace it if
damaged.
- Keep handles dry and free from oil and grease.
15. Always pull out the power plug:
- When the tool is not being used, before carrying out any
maintenance work and when changing attachments such
as blades, bits and cutters of any kind.
16. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches!
- Make sure that all keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from the tool before switching it on.
17. Avoid unintentional starting!
- Make sure that the switch is in OFF position when
inserting the power plug.
18. When using an extension cable outdoors:
- Check that it is approved for outdoor duty and is marked
accordingly.
19. Be alert at all times!
- Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not
operate the tool if your mind is not on your work.
20. Check the tool for damage!
- Each time before re-using the tool, carefully check that
the guards or any slightly damaged parts are working as
intended.
- Check that the moving parts are in good working order,
that they do not jam, and that no parts are damaged.
- Make sure that all parts are fitted correctly and that all
other operating conditions are properly fulfilled.
- Unless otherwise stated in the operating instructions,
damaged guards and parts have to be repaired or
replaced by an authorised service center.
- Have damaged switches replaced by a customer service
workshop.
-
Never use any tool if its switch can not be turned off and on.

The use of any accessory or attachment other than
those recommended may involve a risk of injury for you
personally.
