Safety instructions
Workplace safety
•
Always keep your working area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or insufficiently lit working areas
increase the risk of accident.
•
Do not operate the device in explosive environments or near flammable substances, liquids,
gases, or dusts. The use of this device may create sparks that could potentially ignite gases or
dust.
•
Keep bystanders away from the working area while operating the device, as distractions may
lead to a loss of control.
•
Always make sure to abide by local laws and regulations concerning the use of power tools.
Electric safety
•
The power plug of the device must match the power socket and must not be altered in any way.
Matching sockets and original plugs minimise the risk of electric shock.
•
Do not use adapter plugs with earthed power tools.
•
Avoid physical contact with earthed objects and surfaces such as pipes, stoves, or refrigerators.
An earthed body increases the risk of electric shock, when working with a power tool.
•
Do not use the device if it cannot be turned on or off properly.
•
Always turn the device off and remove it from its power source if it is not being used.
•
Do not pull at the power cord of the device and do not abuse it to lift, carry, or hold the device.
•
Do not expose the power cord to heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts and make sure it is not
bent or pinched. Damaged or entangled cables greatly increase the risk of electric shock.
•
Always check the cable for signs of damage or wear before using the device. Do not use the
tool if its power cord or plug are damaged and make sure to have it replaced by a qualified
electrician before the device is operated again. Damaged or worn cables must not be repaired
and must instead be replaced by a qualified electrician.
•
When using the device outside, make sure to use an appropriate extension cord suitable for
outdoor use to decrease the risk of electric shock.
•
The use of the device in wet environments (e.g., rain) is strictly prohibited. If the use of the
device within an environment with high moisture levels cannot be avoided, make sure to equip
it with a fault-current circuit breaker to decrease the risk of electric shock.
•
Repairs and in-depth maintenance must be performed by qualified personnel and spare parts
used must at least be of equal quality and authorised by the manufacturer to guarantee a proper
and safe operation.
•
Do under no circumstances attempt to modify the device, its accessories, or its power plug.
Modified devices are dangerous and their use carries a great risk of accidents and electric
shock.
