SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety in the workplace
Keep your working area clean, and make
sure it is well illuminated. Untidiness or
dimly lit working areas can lead to accidents.
Do not work with the electrical tool in a
potentially explosive atmosphere with the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Electrical tools give rise to sparks that
can ignite the dust or vapours.
Keep children and other people away from
the electrical tool when using it. If you are
distracted, you might lose control of the ma-
chine.
Electrical safety
The connection plug of the electrical tool
must fit into the socket. The plug is not
allowed to be changed in any way. Do
not use any plug adapters together with
earthed electrical tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching sockets reduce the risk of an
electric shock
Avoid physical contact with earthed sur-
faces such as on pipes, heaters, cookers
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed.
Keep electrical tools out of the rain and
away from moisture. Water getting into an
electrical tool increases the risk of an electric
shock.
Do not use the cable for incorrect purpo-
ses such as carrying the electrical tool,
hanging it up or for pulling the plug out
of the socket. Keep the cable away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts of
the equipment. Damaged or tangled cables
increase the risk of an electric shock.

Personal safety
Be alert, pay attention to what you are
doing and take a cautious approach to
working with an electrical tool. Do not use
an electrical tool if you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medici-
nes. A moment's inattentiveness when using
the electrical tool can result in serious inju-
ries.
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear baggy
clothing or jewellry. Keep your hair, clo-
thes and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewellry or long hair can be
snagged on moving parts.
Wear personal protective equipment, and
always use safety goggles. The injury risk
can be reduced by wearing personal protec-
tive equipment such as a dust mask, non-slip
shoes, a protective helmet or ear defenders,
depending on the type and application of the
electrical tool.
Avoid starting to operate the machine in-
advertently. Make sure that the electrical
tool is switched off before you connect it
to the power supply, pick it up or carry it.
Accidents can be caused by leaving your fin-
ger on the switch when you carry the electri-
cal tool or when you connect it to the power
supply.
Remove the adjusting tools or spanner
before you switch on the electrical tool. A
tool or spanner that is in a rotating part of the
machine can cause injuries.
Avoid an abnormal bodily posture. Make
sure you can stand safely and keep your
balance at all times. This will enable you to
control the electrical tool better if something
unexpected happens.
If dust extraction and collection devices
can be attached, make sure that they are
connected and used correctly. Using a
dust extraction system can reduce the risk
caused by dust.
Use and handling of the electrical tool
Do not overload the machine. Use the ap-
propriate electrical tool for the job you are
doing. Using the appropriate electrical tool
will enable you to work more effectively and
safely in the specified performance range.
Do not use an electrical tool if it has a de-
fective switch. An electrical tool that can no
longer be switched on or off is dangerous and
must be repaired.
