General safety advice

MAKE SURE THAT YOU KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY ADVICE IN A SAFE PLACE.

1. Your working area

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

b)Do not work with the device

in potentially explosive environments 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

a)The mains plug on the device must match the mains socket. The mains plug must not be modified in any way. Do not use an adapter plug with devices fitted with a protective earth. Unmodified mains plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.

b)Avoid touching earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ovens and refrigerators with any part of your body. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.

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 increase the risk of electric shock.

e)When working outdoors with an electrical power tool always use extension cables that are also approved for use outdoors. The use of an extension cable suitable for outdoor use 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 electrical power tool used and work undertaken, reduces the risk of injury.

c)Avoid unintentional operation of the device. Make sure that the switch is in the “OFF” position before you insert the mains plug into the socket. Accidents can happen if you have been carrying the device with your finger on the switch or you have already switched the device on before you connect it to the mains.

d)Remove any setting tools or spanners before you switch the device on. A tool or spanner left attached to a rotating part of a device can lead to injury.

e)Do not overestimate your own abilities. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. By doing this you will be in a better position to control the device, especially in unforeseen circumstances.

f)Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves clear of
