Safety advice

Workplace safety

J
Keep your working area clean and clutter-free.
Ensure that your working area is well lit. Untidy or
poorly lit working areas can lead to accidents.
J
Risk of explosion! Do not work
with the device in potentially explo-
sive environments in which there are
inflammable liquids, gases or dusts. Electrical
power tools create sparks, which can ignite
dusts or fumes.
J
Keep children and other people
away while you are operating the
electrical power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control of the device.

Electrical safety

To avoid danger to life from
electric shock:
J
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. Unmodi-
fied plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk
of electric shock.
J
Avoid touching earthed surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ovens and refrigerators with any part
of your body. There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed.
J
Keep the device away from rain or mois-
ture. Water entering an electrical device
increases the risk of electric shock.
J
Do not use the mains lead for any purpose for
which it was not intended, e.g. to carry the device,
to hang it up 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 or plugs
increase the risk of electric shock.
J
A damaged device, mains lead or
plug presents a serious danger to life
from electric shock. Frequently
check the condition of the device, mains lead
and plug.

J
When working outdoors always use extension
cables that are also approved for use outdoors.
The use of an extension cable suitable for out-
door use reduces the risk of electric shock.
J
Hold the device only by the insulated handles;
bear in mind that you might cut through a con-
cealed cable or the device's mains lead.
J
Contact with a live wire can cause metal parts
of the device to become live and lead to elec-
tric shock.
J
Warning! Risk of explosion!
Use a suitable detector to locate con-
cealed services supply cables/
pipes or approach your local public utilities
services providers.
Contact with electricity cables can lead to fire
or electric shock. Damaging a gas pipe can
lead to an explosion.
Penetration of a water pipe can lead to property
damage or to electric shock.
J
Do not use the device if it has any damaged
parts. If a dangerous situation arises pull out
the mains plug from the socket immediately.
J
Warning! - Never open the device.
Always have any repairs carried out or replace-
ment parts fitted at the service centre or by an
electrical equipment repair specialist.

Personal safety

J
Remain alert at all times and always watch
what you are doing. Work carefully when using
an electrical power tool. Do not use the device
if you cannot concentrate or are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
Just one moment of carelessness when using
the device can lead to serious injury.
J
Wear personal protective equipment
and always wear safety glasses. The
wearing of personal protec-
tive equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safe-
ty shoes, protective gloves, safety helmets or ear
protectors, appropriate to the type of electrical
power tool used and work undertaken, reduces
the risk of injury.
J
Avoid unintentional operation of the device.
