General safety advice for electrical power tools
General safety advice for electrical power tools
tool that can no longer be switched on and off
is dangerous and must be repaired.
c)
Pull the mains plug out of the socket
and / or remove the rechargeable bat-
tery before you make any adjustments
to the device, change accessories or
when the device is put away.
This pre-
caution is intended to prevent the device from
unintentionally starting.
d)
When not in use always ensure that
electrical power tools are kept out of
reach of children. Do not let anyone use
the device if he or she is not familiar
with it or has not read the instructions
and advice.
Electrical power tools are dan-
gerous when they are used by inexperienced
people.
e)
Look after the device carefully. Check
that moving parts are working prop-
erly and move freely. Check for any
parts that are broken or damaged
enough to detrimentally affect the
functioning of the device. Have dam-
aged parts repaired before you use
the device.
Many accidents have their origins
in poorly maintained electrical power tools.
f)
Keep cutting tools clean and sharp.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to jam and are
easier to control.
g)
Use the electrical power tool, accesso-
ries, inserted tools etc. in accordance
with these instructions and advice, and
the stipulations drawn up for this par-
ticular type of device. In doing this, take
into account the working conditions
and the task in hand.
The use of electrical
power tools for purposes other than those in-
tended can lead to dangerous situations.
5. Use and handling of the cord-
less electrical power tool
a)
Charge a rechargeable battery unit
using only the charger recommended
by the manufacturer.
Chargers are often
designed for a particular type of rechargeable
battery unit. There is the danger of fire if other
types of rechargeable battery units are used.
b)
Only the rechargeable battery units
supplied are to be used with an elec-
trical power tool.
The use of other recharge-
able battery units may lead to the danger of
injury or fire.
c)
When they are not being used, store
rechargeable battery units away from
paperclips, coins, keys. nails, screws
or other small metal objects that could
cause the contacts to be bridged.
Short-
circuiting the contacts of a rechargeable battery
unit may result in heat damage or fire.
d)
Fluids may leak out of rechargeable
battery units if they are misused. If
this happens, avoid contact with the
fluid. If contact occurs, flush the affect-
ed area with water. Seek additional
medical help if any of the fluid gets
into your eyes.
Escaping battery fluid may
cause skin irritation or burns.
CAUTION! DANGER OF EX-
PLOSION!
The batteries must
never be recharged!
Safety advice relating
to cordless drill drivers
The inserted tool may
strike concealed electricity cables,
therefore when working you must
hold the electrical power tool by the
insulated handle areas only.
Contact
with a live wire means that the metal parts of
the electrical power tools may become live and
this can result in an electric shock.
Securely support the workpiece.
A workpiece held in a clamp or vice is kept more
securely in place than one held by your hand.
POISONOUS DUSTS!
Harmful / noxious dusts generated from your
work represent a risk to the health of the person
operating the device and to anyone near the
work area.
Wear safety glasses and a dust
mask!
