General safety advice for electrical power tools

b)

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. 

c)

Pull the mains plug out of the socket 
before you make any adjustments to 
the device, change accessories or when 
the device is put away. 

This precaution is 

intended to prevent you from unintentionally 
starting the device. 

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 famil-
iar with it or has not read the instruc-
tions and advice.

 Electrical power tools are 

dangerous 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 
particular 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 intended can lead to dangerous  
situations.
