Personal Safety - Meec tools 018285 Bedienungsanleitung

EN
• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, cookers and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or
moisture. There is a greater risk of electric
shock if water gets into a power tool.
• Never use the power cord to carry or pull
the tool, or to pull out the plug from the
mains socket. Keep the power cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving
parts. Damaged or tangled power cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
• If using the tool outdoors, only use an
extension cord approved for outdoor use.
Cords intended for outdoor use reduce the
risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert. Pay attention to what you are
doing, and use your common sense when
working with power tools. Never use
power tools if you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
Remember that a fraction of a second of
inattention or negligence can result in
serious personal injury.
• Use personal safety equipment. Wear
safety glasses or a face mask. Depending
on the type of tool and how it is used,
safety equipment such as dust masks,
non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets and
ear protection reduce the risk of personal
injury.
• Avoid accidental starting. Check that the
power switch is in the OFF position before
plugging in the plug or battery, or lifting/
carrying the tool. Carrying a power tool
with your finger on the switch or
connecting a tool to the mains supply
when the switch is in the ON position
increases the risk of accidents and injuries.
• Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm
footing and good balance. This ensures
better control over the power tool in
unexpected situations.

• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear
loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose-fitting clothing,
jewellery and long hair can get caught in
moving parts.
• If dust extraction and dust collection
equipment is available, this should be
connected and used correctly. The use of
such devices can reduce the risk of
dust-related problems.
