Introduction / Safety advice

Safety advice

J
Attention! In order to protect yourself from
the danger of electric shock, injury or fire when
using electrical power tools, please observe
the following safety precautions.
J
Read and observe these requirements before
you use the device and keep the safety advice
in a safe place. Failure to observe the instruc-
tions and advice given below may result in
electric shock, fire and / or serious injury.

Workplace safety

Q
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
Do not work with the device in potentially ex-
plosive environments in which there are inflam-
mable liquids, gases or dusts. Electrical power
tools create sparks, which can ignite dusts or
fumes.
J
Use dust extraction or trapping equipment if
these facilities can be fitted. If you use a vacu-
um dust extraction device, make sure that it is
specially designed to be used for this purpose.
8 GB/IE/CY
The correct use of these devices reduces the
hazard presented by dust. There is the danger
of fire when working with electrical devices
that have a dust bag or can be connected to a
vacuum extraction device. Under certain condi-
tions the wood dust in the dust extraction bag
(or in the vacuum's filter bag) can self-ignite,
e.g. as a result of flying sparks generated
when machining metals or metal objects left in
wood. This can happen particularly if the
wood dust is mixed with paint residue or other
chemicals and the waste particles are hot from
prolonged machining. Therefore you must emp-
ty the dust collection bag and filter bag before
pausing or stopping work and always avoid
overheating the waste particles or the vacuum's
filter bag.
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

Q
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 de-
vices fitted with a protective earth. Unmodified
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
moisture. 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 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.
