Safety instructions
When using Power Tools, always observe the
safety regulations applicable in your country to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and
personal injury. Read the following safety
instructions before attempting to operate this
product. Keep these instructions in a safe place!
General
1 Keep work area clean
Cluttered areas and benches can cause accidents.
2 Consider work area environment
Do not expose Power Tools to humidity.
Keep work area well lit. Do not use Power Tools
in the presence of inflammable liquids or gases.
3 Guard against electric shock
Prevent body contact with earthed surfaces
(e.g. pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators).
For use under extreme conditions (e.g. high
humidity, when metal swarf is being produced,
etc.) electric safety can be improved by inserting
an isolating transformer or a (FI) earth-leakage
circuit-breaker.
4 Keep children away
Do not let children come into contact with the
tool or extension cord. Keep all people away
from the work area.
5 Extension cords for outdoor use
When the tool is used outdoors, always use
extension cords intended for outdoor use and
marked accordingly.
6 Store idle tools
When not in use, Power Tools must be stored in
a dry place and locked up securely, out of reach
of children.
7 Dress properly
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
They can be caught in moving parts.
Preferably wear rubber gloves and non-slip
footwear when working outdoors. Wear protective
hair covering to keep long hair out of the way.
8 Wear safety goggles
Also use a face or dust mask in case the
operations produce dust or flying particles.
9 Beware of maximum sound pressure
Wear ear protection at all times.
