Personal Safety - Rebel RB-5000 Bedienungsanleitung

5. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

1. 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.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the power
tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
4. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
5. Dress properly. Wear right clothes (long trousers) and non-slip shoes. Do not wear
sandals or open-toed shoes.
6. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Garden power tool use and care
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rated speed for which it was
designed.
2. Do not leave the power tool unattended when it's working.
3. Use auxiliary handle(s) if supplied with the power tool. Loss of control can cause
personal injury.
4. Keep handles and grips dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
5. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
6. 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.
7. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
8. This power tool may be used by children who are above 8 years old and by persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
if they are supervised and guided by a person who is responsible for their safety in a
cautious manner for all the safety precautions being understood and followed.
9. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
