Safety

JKeep the device away from rain or mois- ture. Water entering an electrical device increases the risk of electric shock.

JDo not use the mains lead for any purpose for which it was not intended, e.g. to carry the de- vice, to hang it up 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 or plugs increase the risk of electric shock.

JA damaged device, mains lead or

plug presents a serious danger to life from electric shock. Frequently check the condition of the device, mains lead and plug.

JWhen working outdoors always use extension cables that are also approved for use outdoors. The use of an extension cable suitable for out- door use reduces the risk of electric shock.

JHold the device only by the insulated handles; bear in mind that you might cut through a con- cealed cable or the device’s mains lead.

JContact with a live wire can cause metal parts of the device to become live and lead to elec- tric shock.

JWarning! Risk of explosion!

Use a suitable detector to locate con- cealed services supply cables /

pipes or approach your local public utilities services providers.

Contact with electricity cables can lead to fire or electric shock. Damaging a gas pipe can lead to an explosion.

Penetration of a water pipe can lead to property damage or to electric shock.

JDo not use the device if it has any damaged parts. If a dangerous situation arises pull out the mains plug from the socket immediately.

JWarning! - Never open the device. Always have any repairs carried out or re- placement parts fitted at the service centre or by an electrical equipment repair specialist.

QPersonal safety

JRemain alert at all times and always watch what you are doing. Work carefully when using an electrical power tool. Do not use the device if you cannot concentrate or are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. Just one moment of carelessness when using the device can lead to serious injury.

JWear personal protective equipment

and always wear safety glasses. The wearing of personal protec-

tive equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safe- ty shoes, protective gloves, safety helmets or ear protectors, appropriate to the type of electrical power tool used and work undertaken, reduces the risk of injury.

JWe recommend that you wear rubber gloves and anti-slip footwear when working outdoors.

JAvoid unintentional operation of the device. Make sure that the switch is in the “OFF” position before you insert the mains plug into the sock- et. Accidents can happen if you carry the de- vice with your finger on the ON / OFF switch or you have already switched the device on before you connect it to the mains.

JRemove 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.

JDo 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 in unforeseen circumstances.

JWear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose cloth- ing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves clear of moving parts. If you have long hair, wear a hair net. Clothing, jewellery or hair that is loose or hangs from your body, head or limbs can become trapped in moving parts.

JUse dust extraction or trapping equipment if these facilities can be fitted. If you use a vacuum dust extraction device, make sure that it is spe- cially designed to be used for this purpose. The correct use of these devices reduces the hazard presented by dust.
