Do not use the cable to carry the tool, hang it up or pull the plug out of
the socket. Keep the cable away from sources of heat, oil, sharp edges
and moving tool parts.
•
Damaged or tangled cable increases the risk of an electric shock.
•
If you intend to use an electric tool outdoors, ensure that you only use
an extension cable that is approved for outdoor applications. Using an
extension cable that is approved for outdoor applications reduces the
risk of an electric shock.
•
If operation of the electric tool in a damp environment can not be avoided,
use an earth leakage circuit-breaker. The earth-leakage circuit-breaker
reduces the risk of an electric shock.
Personal safety
•
Be alert, work conscientiously and exercise appropriate caution when
using the electric tool. Do not use the tool if you are tired or are under
the influence of drugs/medication or alcohol. One moment of carelessness
or lack of attention when using the electric tool can cause serious
bodily injury!
•
Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety
goggles. Wearing personal protective equipment such as protective
headgear and ear defenders reduces the risk of sustaining an injury.
•
Make sure that the tool cannot start up accidentally. Ensure that the
electric tool is switched off before you connect the tool to the power
supply, or pick up or carry the tool. Physically touching the switch with
your finger when carrying the tool or connecting the tool to the power
supply switched on can lead to accidents.
•
Avoid abnormal working postures. Make sure you stand squarely and keep
your balance at all times. This way, you will be able to have better control
over the tool in unexpected situations. Wear suitable clothes. Never wear
loose fitting clothes or jewellery. Keep hair, clothes and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothing, dangling jewellery and long hair can be
caught by moving parts.
