General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference!
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (cord-
ed) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a)
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
b)
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools cre-
ate sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c)
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a)
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock.
b)
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c)
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water enter-
ing a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d)
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
e)
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
f)
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a)
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
b)
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c)
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-posi-
tion before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, pick-
ing up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d)
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power
tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the pow-
er tool may result in personal injury.
e)
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f)
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g)
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly
used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a)
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
b)
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is danger-
ous and must be repaired.
c)
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, chang-
ing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d)
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) M
aintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of mov-
ing parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may af-
fect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained power tools.
f)
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control..
g)
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking into account the working condi-
tions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for op-
erations different from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
5) Service
a)
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using
only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
Special safety instructions
- Before every use of the tool check the movable supply and the plug.
Let an expert remove any potential defects.
- The grinder must not be used in damp or wet areas, outdoor in rain,
fog, snowing and in areas with an explosion hazard.
- Before the tool is connected to the power supply, the switch must be in
the OFF position.
- Watch out for long hair and fashion accessories. Work in properly
tightened clothes, without any drift parts.
- Secure the vessel with the mixed material against any movement on
the floor.
- Always lead the movable supply in the direction from the tool back-
wards. The movable supply must not be stressed by tension, and must
not lie on or pass over sharp edges.
- Make sure you stand safely and firmly during the work.
- Use the additional handle (6).
- Consider potential reaction torque.
