Workplace Safety
• Ensure that the area you are working in is clean and well lit. Untidy or unlit
workplaces can lead to accidents.
• Do not use the electrical tool in an environment prone to the risk of
explosion, or in which flammable liquids, gases or dusts may be found.
Electrical tools cause sparks which may ignite dust or vapours.
• Keep children and other people away from the electrical tool when it is in
use. If distracted, you may lose control of the device.
Safety Tips for Electronic Devices
• The plug of the electrical tool must fit into the socket. The plug may not be
modified in any way. Do not use an adapter plug in conjunction with a
grounded electrical tool. Unmodified plugs and the appropriate sockets
will reduce the risk of an electrical shock.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, for example, pipes, heating,
ovens and fridges.There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body
is earthed.
• Keep the electrical tools away from rain or damp. Water entering into an
electrical device will increase the risk of an electrical shock.
• Do not misuse the cable to carry the electrical tool, to hang it up or to pull
the plug out of the socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving device parts. Damaged or coiled cables increase the risk of an
electrical shock.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• When you use an electrical tool out in the open, use an extension cable
that is designed foroutside use.The use of an extension cable that is
designed for outdoor use reduces the risk of an electrical shock.
• If it is not possible to avoid using the electrical tool in a damp
environment, use a residual current circuit-breaker with a trigger current
of 30 mA or lower. The use of a residual current circuit-breaker reduces the
risk of an electrical shock.
• Arrange the connecting cable in such a way that it cannot be caught by
branches or similar when cutting.
