General Safety Advice For Electrical Power Tools - Matrix CMG 3.6V Li Betriebsanleitung

WARNING! The vibration level given in these
instructions has been measured in accordance
with a standardised measurement procedure
specified in EN 60745 and can be used to
compare devices.
Different uses of the device give rise to different
vibration levels and in many cases they may
exceed the values given in these instructions.
It is easy to underestimate the vibration load
if the electrical power tool is used regularly in
particular circumstances.
Note: If you wish to make an accurate assessment
of the vibration loads experienced during a
particular period of working, you should also
take into account the intervening periods of time
when the device is switched off or is running but
is not actually in use.
This can result in a much lower vibration load
over the whole of the period of working.
General safety advice for
electrical power tools
WARNING! Read all the safety advice
and instructions! Failure to observe the safety
advice and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and / or serious injury.
Keep all the safety advice and instructions
in a safe place for future reference!
The term "electrical tool" used in the safety advice
refers to electrical tools powered by mains
electricity (by means of a mains lead) and
electrical tools powered by rechargeable
batteries (without a mains lead).
1. Workplace safety
a) Keep your working area clean and
well lit. Untidy or poorly lit working areas
can lead to accidents.
b) Do not work with the device
in potentially explosive environments
16
in which there are inflammable liquids, gases
or dusts. Electrical power tools create sparks,
which can ignite dusts or fumes.
c) Keep children and other people away while
you are operating the electrical tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control of
the device.
2. Electrical safety
a) The mains plug on the device must match
the mains socket. The plug must not be
modified in any way. Do not use an
adapter plug with devices fitted with
a protective earth. Unmodified plugs and
matching sockets reduce the risk of electric
shock.
b) Avoid touching earthed surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ovens and refrigerators
with any part of your body.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed.
c) Keep the device away from rain or
moisture. Water entering an electrical device
increases the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not use the mains lead for
any purpose for which it was
not intended, e.g. to carry the
device, to hang up the device or to pull
the mains plug out of the mains socket.
Keep the mains lead away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts of the
device. Damaged or tangled mains leads
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When working outdoors with an electrical
power tool always use extension
cables that are also approved for use
outdoors. The use of an extension cable suitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
