Introduction / General safety advice for electrical power tools
Noise and vibration data:
Measured values for noise are determined in accord- ance with EN 60745. The
Sound pressure level: | 60.3 dB(A) |
Sound power level: | 71.3 dB(A) |
Uncertainty K: | 3 dB |
Wear ear protection!
Evaluated acceleration, typical: Hand / arm vibration: 0.864 m / s2 Uncertainty K = 1.5 m / s2
WARNING! The vibration level given in these instructions has been measured in accordance with a standardised measurement procedure specified in EN 60745 and can be used to compare devices. Different uses of the device give rise to different vibration levels and in many cases they may exceed the values given in these instructions. It is easy to underestimate the vibration load if the electrical pow- er tool is used regularly in particular circumstances.
Note: If you wish to make an accurate assessment of the vibration loads experienced during a particular period of working, you should also take into account the intervening periods of time when the device is switched off or is running but is not actually in use. This can result in a much lower vibration load over the whole of the period of working.
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!
The term “electrical tool” used in the safety advice refers to electrical tools powered by mains electrici- ty (by means of a mains lead) and electrical tools
powered by rechargeable batteries (without a mains lead).
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 envi- ronments 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 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 elec- tric 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.
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.
