interrupter (GFCI)“ or „earth leakage circuit breaker
(ELCB)“.
3) SAFETY OF PEOPLE
a)
When using the power tool, the user must be
attentive and pay attention to what they are
currently doing and must concentrate and
use common sense. The power tool must not
be used when the user is tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
Momentary inattentiveness when using the power
tool may result in serious injury to persons.
b)
Use personal protective aids. Always wear
eye protection.
Use protective aids, such as
a respirator, safety footwear with anti-slip soles,
hard head cover or hearing protection appropriately
to the work conditions; they reduce the risk of injury
to persons.
c)
It is essential to avoid accidentally starting
the power tool. It is necessary to check that
the trigger is in the Off position before
plugging the power plug into a power socket
and/or when connecting the battery pack,
lifting or carrying the power tool.
Carrying the
power tool with a finger on the trigger or connecting
the power tool‘s plug with the switch engaged may
cause an accident.
d)
It is necessary to remove all adjustment
tools and spanners before turning on the
power tool.
An adjustment tool or spanner left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in injury to persons.
e)
The user may only work in locations that
they can reach safely. The user must always
maintain a stable stance and balance.
This
will provide better control over the power tool in
unforeseeable situations.
f)
Dress in an appropriate manner. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. The user must
ensure that they have hair and clothing at
a sufficient distance from moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewellery and long hair may become
caught in the moving parts.
g)
If there is equipment available for the
extraction and collection of dust, it is nece
-
ssary that such equipment is connected and
used correctly.
The use of such equipment may
limit the danger posed by the created dust.
h)
The user must not become complacent and
start ignoring the fundamentals of power
tool safety due to the routine arising from
frequent use of the power tool.
Careless
activity may cause serious injury within a fraction of
a second.
4) OPERATING AND MAINTAINING
POWER TOOLS
a)
Power tools must not be overloaded. It
is necessary to use power tools that are
designed for the work being performed.
Appropriate power tools for a given task will do the
job better and with greater safety.
b)
Power tools that cannot be turned on and off
with a trigger/switch must not be used.
Any
power tools that cannot be controlled using a trigger/
switch are dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Before making any adjustments, replacing
accessories or before storing the power tool, it is
necessary to pull the power plug out of the power
socket and/or remove the battery pack out of the
power tool, if it is removable.
These preventative
safety measures limit the danger of accidentally
starting the power tool.
d)
When not used, the power tool must be
stored out of children‘s reach, and persons
not acquainted with the power tool or these
instructions must not be permitted to use
the power tool.
A power tool in the hands of inex-
perienced users is dangerous.
e)
Power tools and accessories need to be main
-
tained. It is necessary to check the adjus
-
tment of moving parts and their movement;
focus on cracks, broken parts or any other
circumstances that may threaten the proper
operation of the power tool. If the power
tool is damaged, it is necessary to have it
repaired before using it again.
Many accidents
are caused by insufficiently maintained power tools.
f)
It is necessary to keep cutting power tools
clean and sharp.
Correctly maintained and sharpe-
ned cutting power tools are less likely to get stuck on
material or to jam and they are also easier to control.
ance without supervision or instruction. Children must
not play with the device. It is generally not assumed
that the charger will be used by very small children
(age 0-3 years inclusive) and used by small children
without supervision (age between 3 and 8 years). It is
conceded that seriously handicapped persons may have
needs outside the level specified by norms EN 60335-1
and EN 60335-2-29.
y
When charging, provide for ventilation since fumes may be
released if the battery of the compressor is damaged as a result
of incorrect handling (e.g. as a result of being dropped).
y
Charge the battery at an ambient temperature range of
10°C to 40°C.
y
Protect the charger against impacts and falls and pre-
vent water from entering into the charger.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE BATTERY
y
Protect the battery against rain, frost, high humidity,
high temperatures (over 50°C), against mechanical
damage (impacts and falls), and never open, burn or
short circuit the battery. Store the battery fully charged,
and to achieve the longest possible battery lifetime,
fully charge the battery after several months of storage
(every 6 months).
XI. General safety
instructions for power tools
•
WARNING!
It is necessary to read all the safety instructions,
the user‘s manual, images and regulations supp
-
lied with this power tool.
Not adhering to any of the
following instructions may lead to injury by electrical shock,
a fire and/or a serious injury to persons.
All the instructions and the user‘s manual must be
kept for possible future reference.
The term „power tool“ in all hereafter provided warnings is
defined as an tool powered from the power grid (via a power
cord) or a tool powered from a battery (without a power cord
/ cordless).
1) SAFETY IN THE WORK AREA
a)
The work area needs to be kept clean, tidy,
and well lit.
Untidiness and dark areas in the work
area are sources of accidents.
b)
The power tool must not be used in environ
-
ments where there is an explosion hazard,
where there are flammable liquids, gases or
dust.
The power tool generates sparks which could
ignite dust or vapours.
c)
When using the power tool, it is necessary to
prevent children and other persons access.
If the user becomes distracted, they may lose control
over the activity being performed.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a)
The plug on the power cord must correspond
to the power socket outlet. The power plug
must never be modified in anyway. Socket
adapters must not be used with power tools
that have a safety earth grounding connec
-
tion.
Power plugs that are not damaged by modifi-
cations and that correspond to the power socket will
limit the danger of injury by electrical shock.
b)
The user‘s body must not come into contact
with grounded objects, such as pipes, central
heating radiators, stoves and refrigerators.
The risk of injury by electrical shock is greater when
your body is in contact with the ground.
c)
Power tools must never be exposed to rain, mois
-
ture or wetness.
The entry of water into the power tool
increases the danger of injury by electrical shock.
d)
The flexible power cord must not be used for
any other purposes. Power tools must not be
carried or pulled by the power cord, nor may
the power plug be disconnected by pulling
on the power cord. The power cord must be
protected against heat, grease, sharp edges
or moving parts.
Damaged or tangled power cords
increase the danger of injury by electrical shock.
e)
If the power tool is used outdoors, an exten
-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use must be
used.
Using extension cords designed for outdoor
use, limits the risk of injury by electrical shock.
f)
If the power tool is used in damp areas, it is
necessary to use a power supply protected
by a residual current device (RCD).
The use of
an RCD limits the danger of injury by electrical shock.
The term „residual current device (RCD)“ may be
substituted for by the term „ground fault circuit
