General safety advice for electrical power tools / Before use
General safety advice for electrical power tools
Keep the mains lead away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts of the
device.
Damaged or tangled mains leads in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
When working outdoors with an
electrical power tool always use ex-
tension cables that are also approved
for use outdoors.
The use of an extension
cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
Use a residual current device (RCD) for
protection if operating the electrical
power tool in a moist environment is
unavoidable.
The use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
Wear personal protective
equipment and always wear
safety glasses.
Wearing personal
protective equipment such as ear protection,
dust mask or work gloves, depending on the
type of electric tool and its application, reduc-
es the risk of injuries.
4.
Careful handling and use
of electrical power tools
Do not use an electrical power tool if
its switch is defective.
An electrical power
tool that can no longer be switched on and off
is dangerous and must be repaired.
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 danger-
ous when they are used by inexperienced people.
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.
Safety instructions for
fine spray systems
Keep your work area clean, well lit
and free of paint or solvent containers,
rags and other combustible materials.
Potential danger of spontaneous com-
bustion.
Keep fully functioning fire extinguish-
ers / extin-guishing equipment available at all times.
Ensure good ventilation in the spray-
ing area and sufficient quantities of
fresh air through-out the room.
Evapo-
rating flammable solvents create an explosive
environment.
The spray gun must never be used for
spraying inflammable substances.
Spray guns must never be cleaned
using inflammable solvents.
Do not spray or clean with materials
with a flashpoint below 21°C. Use
materials on the basis of water, low-
volatile hydrocarbons or similar ma-
terials.
Highly volatile evaporating solvents
create an explosive environment.
Do not spray in the area of ignition
sources such as static electricity sparks,
open flames, pilot lights, hot objects,
motors, cigarettes and sparks from in-
serting and disconnecting power cords
or the operation of switches.
Such sources
of sparks can lead to ignition of the surround-
ing area.
Do not spray any materials for which
it is not known whether they pose a
danger.
Unknown materials can create dan-
gerous conditions.
Wear additional personal
protective equipment such as
appropriate protective gloves
and protective masks or respirators
when spraying or handling chemicals.
