Safety instructions
4.1.2
Electrical safety
■
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of elec-
tric shock.
■
Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radia-
tors, ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
■
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
■
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
■
When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for out-
door use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
■
If operating a power tool in a damp loca-
tion is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
4.1.3
Personal safety
■
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
■
Use personal protective equipment. Al-
ways wear eye protection. Protective equip-
ment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce person-
al injuries.
■
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before con-
necting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Car-
rying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energising power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
■
Remove any adjusting key or wrench be-
fore turning the power tool on. A wrench or
443166_a
a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
■
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables bet-
ter control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
■
Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewellery. Keep your hair and cloth-
ing away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
■
If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
■
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent
use of tools allow you to become compla-
cent and ignore tool safety principles. A
careless action can cause severe injury with-
in a fraction of a second.
4.1.4
Power tool use and care
■
Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-
rect power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
■
Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
■
Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery pack, if
detachable, from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing acces-
sories, or storing power tools. Such pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
■
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfa-
miliar with the power tool or these instruc-
tions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
■
Maintain power tools and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power
tool's operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
