SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA
• Keep the work area clean and well lit. Dark
and cluttered work areas increase the risk
of accidents and injuries.
• Do not use the appliance in explosive
environments, such as in the vicinity of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. The
appliance produces sparks, which can ignite
dust and fumes.
• Keep children and onlookers at a safe
distance when using the appliance. You can
lose control of the appliance if you are
distracted.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• The plug on the appliance must match the
power point. Never modify the plug in any
way. Never use an adapter with earthed
power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets reduce the risk of electric
shock.
• 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 the appliance to rain or
moisture. If water gets into the appliance
this will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Be careful with the power cord. Never use
the power cord to carry or pull the
appliance, or to pull out the plug from the
power point. 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 appliance outdoors, only use an
extension cord approved for outdoor use.
Cords intended for outdoor use reduce the
risk of electric shock.
• If it is absolutely necessary to use the
appliance in damp conditions, use a mains
connection protected by a residual current
40
device (RDC). Using an RCD reduces the risk
of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert. Pay attention to what you are
doing, and use your common sense when
working with the appliance Never use the
appliance if you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
• A moment of inattention when using the
appliance can result in serious personal
injury.
• Use personal safety equipment. Wear safety
glasses. Depending on the type of machine
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. Make sure the
power switch is in the OFF position before
plugging in the plug or inserting the
battery, or lifting/carrying the appliance.
Carrying the appliance with your finger on
the switch or connecting appliances to the
mains supply when the switch is in the ON
position increases the risk of accidents and
injuries.
• Remove adjuster keys/spanners before
switching on the appliance. Allen keys, or
the like, left in a rotating part of the
machine can cause personal injury.
• 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.
