General safety rules
ATTENTION!
When using electric tools, the following fundamental safety measures must be
taken to prevent electric shock, injury or fire.
Read all of these instructions before you use the electric tool, and store the safety instructions properly.
Service and maintenance :
1
Regular cleaning, maintenance and lubrication.
Always pull the electrical plug before any adjustment,
maintenance or repair.
2
Have your device repaired only by qualified experts and only with original replacement parts.
This ensures
the continued safety of the device.
Working safely :
1
Keep your work area orderly.
A messy work area can cause accidents.
2
Consider environmental influences.
Do not expose electric tools to rain. Do not use electric tools in damp
or wet environments. Keep the work area well lit. Do not use electric tools where there is a risk of fire or
explosion.
3
Protect yourself from electric shock.
Avoid physical contact with earthed parts (such as pipes, radiators,
electric stoves or cooling devices).
4
Keep other people away.
Do not let other people
—
especially children
—
touch the electric tool or its
cable. Keep them clear of the work area.
5
Store electric tools safely when they are not in use.
Unused electric tools should be kept in a dry, high or
closed area, out of reach of children.
6
Do not overload your electric tool.
Work is better and safer within the performance range indicated.
7
Use the right electric tool.
Don’t use low
-performance machines for heavy-duty jobs. Do not use the
electric tool for purposes for which it was not intended. For example, do not use a portable circular saw for
cutting tree branches or logs.
8
Wear proper clothing.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as they can get caught in moving parts.
When working outdoors, wear slip-resistant shoes. Wear a hairnet over long hair.
9
Use protective gear.
Wear safety glasses. Wear a breathing mask during work that creates dust.
10
Connect the dust extraction equipment.
If there are connections to dust extraction and collection
equipment, make sure that they are connected and properly used.
11
Do not use the cable for purposes for which it was not intended.
Never use the cable to pull the plug from
the socket. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.
12
Secure the work piece.
Use clamps or a vice to hold the work piece firmly. They will hold it more securely
than your hand can.
13
Avoid abnormal postures.
Make sure to stand securely and always keep your balance.
