General
1 Keep work area clean
Cluttered areas and benches can cause accidents.
2 Consider work area environment
Do not expose the tool to rain. Do not use the tool
in damp or wet conditions. Keep the work area
well lit (250 - 300 Lux). Do not use the tool where
there is a risk of causing fire or explosion, e.g. in
the presence of flammable liquids and gases.
3 Keep children away
Do not allow children, visitors or animals to come
near the work area or to touch the tool or the
mains cable.
4 Dress properly
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as these
can be caught in moving parts. Wear protective
hair covering to keep long hair out of the way.
When working outdoors, preferably wear suitable
gloves and non-slip footwear.
5 Personal protection
Always use safety glasses. Use a face or dust
mask whenever the operations may produce
dust or flying particles. If these particles might
be considerably hot, also wear a heat-resistant
apron. Wear ear protection at all times.
6 Guard against electric shock
Prevent body contact with earthed surfaces
(e.g. pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators).
When using the tool under extreme conditions
(e.g. high humidity, when metal swarf is being
produced, etc.), electric safety can be improved
by inserting an isolating transformer or a (FI)
earth-leakage circuit-breaker.
