General safety advice for electrical power tools

Warning! Read all the safety advice and instructions!

Failure to observe the safety advice and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and / or serious injury.

KEEP ALL THE SAFETY ADVICE AND INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!

1. Workplace safety

a)Keep your working area clean and well lit. Untidy or poorly lit working areas can lead to accidents.

b)Do not work with the device

in potentially explosive en- vironments in which there

are inflammable liquids, gases or dusts. Electrical power tools create sparks, which can ignite dusts or fumes.

c)Keep children and other

people away while you are operating the electrical tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control of the device.

2. Electrical safety

To avoid danger to life from electric shock:

a)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 devices fitted with a protective earth. Unmodified plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.

b)Avoid touching earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ovens and refrig- erators with any part of your body.

There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.

8 GB/IE/CY

c)Keep the device away from rain or moisture. Water entering

an electrical device increases the risk of electric shock.

d)Do not use the mains lead for

any purpose for which it was not intended, e.g. to carry the device, to hang up 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. Damaged or tangled mains leads in- crease the risk of electric shock.

e)When working outdoors with an electrical power tool always use ex- tension cables that are also approved for use outdoors. The use of an extension cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f)Use a residual current device (RCD) for protection if operating the electri- cal power tool in a moist environment is unavoidable. The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3.Personal safety

a)Remain alert at all times, watch what you are doing and always proceed with caution. Do not use the device if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. One moment of carelessness when using the device can lead to serious injury.

b)Wear personal protective equipment and always wear safety glasses. The wearing of

personal protective equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets or ear protectors, appropriate to the type of elec- trical power tool used and work undertaken, reduces the risk of injury.

c)Avoid unintentional operation of the device. Check that the electrical pow- er tool is switched off before you connect it to the mains, pick it up or
