Personal Safety - Casals VMP1050EM Handbuch

• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
• When operating the power tool outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use a cord suitable for outdoor use reduc-
es the risk of electric shock.
• 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

• 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.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriated condi-
tions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-po-
sition before connecting the power source and/or battery pack,
picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected
