General safety notes for power tools
Warning! Read all safety notes and instructions! Non-
compliance with safety notes and instructions may re-
sult in electric shock, fire and/or severe injury!
Store all safety notes and instructions for the fu-
ture.
The term „power tool" used in the safety notes refers
to power tools connected to the mains (with a pow-
er cable) or operated with a battery (without a power
cable).
Workplace safety
a) Keep your workplace clean and wellilluminated.
Disorderliness and poorlyilluminated workplaces
may Iead to accidents.
b) Do not operate the power tool in explosive at-
mospheres with inflammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools generate sparks which may ignite
dust or vapours.
c) Keep children and other persons away from the
power tool during operation. You may lose control
of the tool if you are distracted.
Electric safety
a) The plug of the power tool must fit into the so-
cket. Do not modify the plug in any way. Do not use
adapter plugs tagether with grounded power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matehing sockets reduce the
risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ovens and refrigerators. The-
re is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is grounded.
c) Keep power tools away from rain or humidity.
Water permeation into the power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d) Use the cable solely for its intended purpose.
Do not use the cable to carry or hang up the po-
wer tool or to pull out the plug from the socket.
Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving machine parts. Damaged or twisted cables
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When working outdoors with power tools, only
use extension cords which are suited for out-
door areas. Using extension cords suited for out-
door applications reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) lf the operation of power tools in a humid envi-
ronment cannot be avoided, you must use a resi-
dual current circuit breaker. The use of a residual
current circuit breaker will reduce the risk of electric
shock.
Personal safety
a) Pay attention to what you are doing and use po-
wer tools sensibly. Do not use power tools when
you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A single moment of inat-
tention while using power tools may cause severe
injury.
b) Wear personal protective equipment and safety
goggles. Wearing personal protective equipment
such as a dust mask, non-skid safety boots, a pro-
tective helmet or hearing protection according to the
type and application of the power tool reduces the
risk of injury.
c) Avoid starting the power tool unintentionally.
Make sure that the power tool is switched off
before you connect it to themains and/or insert a
battery, pick it up or carry it. lf you have your fin-
ger on the switch when you carry the power tool, or
if the machine is switched on when you connect it to
the mains, this may result in accidents.
d) Remove adjustment tools or wrenches before
16 І 40
switching on the power tool. Tools or wrenches in
rotating machine parts may cause injury.
e) Avoid abnormal body positions. Stand securely
and keep your balance at all times. By doing so, you
can control the power tool more easily in unexpec-
ted Situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, je-
wellery or long hair may be trapped in moving parts.
g) lf dust extraction tools or collection bins can
optionally be attached, you must make sure that
they are connected and correctly used. Using
dust extraction tools may reduce risks caused by
dust.
Use and treatment of the power tool
a)Do not overload the tool. Use the appropriate
power tool for your type of work. With appropria-
te power tools, you can work better and more safely
within the given power range.
b) Do not use power tools with defective switches.
Power tools which cannot be switched on or off are
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) PuII out the plug from the socket and/or remove
the battery before you make settings to the tool,
replace accessory parts or put aside the power
tool. These precautionary measures will prevent the
power tool from starting unintentionally.
d) Keep power tools which are not in use away
from children. Only persons who are famili-
ar with the power tool and who have read the
operating instructions may use the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous if used by inexperienced
persons.
e) Maintain power tools with care. Check moving
parts for proper function and smooth running,
and check whether there are parts which are bro-
ken or damaged to the extent that the functiona-
lity of the power tool is impaired. Have damaged
parts repaired before using the power tool. Many
accidents are caused by poorly-maintained power
tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully
maintained cutting tools with sharp edges are less
likely to jam and can be guided more easily.
g) Use power tools, accessory parts, insertion
tools, etc. in compliance with these instruc-
tions. Take into account the working conditions and
the activity which is to be carried out. Using power
tools for applications other than those intended may
cause dangerous Situations.
Service
a) Have your power tool repaired by qualified spe-
cialists only, and always use original spare parts
for repair. This is to maintain the safety of the pow-
er tool.
