1 Safety instructions
Warning! Read all of the safety precautions, instructions, illustrations and
specications supplied with this electrical equipment. Failure to observe all of the
instructions given below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
Keep all of the precautions and instructions for future reference.
1.1 Safety in the work area
a) Keep the work area clean and well lit. Untidy and dark areas can cause accidents.
b) Do not use electrical equipment in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases or dust. Electrical equipment generates sparks that could set the
dust or fumes alight.
c) Keep children and onlookers at a distance when using electrical equipment. Distractions
can cause loss of control.
1.2 Electrical safety
a)
The electrical equipment’s plug must be suitable for the electrical supply. Do not modify
the plug under any circumstances. Do not use a plug adapter with earthed electrical
equipment. Unmodied plugs and the use of the corresponding sockets (230V or 110V) will
reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid touching earthed surfaces, such as piping, radiators, chains or coolers. The risk
of electric shocks increases if the body is connected to earth.
c) Do not expose electrical equipment to rain or moist conditions. Water getting into the
equipment will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not use the cord incorrectly. Never use the cord to carry, lift or unplug the electrical
equipment. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or tangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e)
When using electrical equipment outside, use an extension cord which is suitable for outdoor
use. Using an extension cord which is suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If using electrical equipment in moist conditions is unavoidable, use a power supply that is
protected by a Residual Current Device (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
g) If the power cord has to be replaced, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or service
agent in order to avoid a safety risk.
1.3 Staff safety

of drugs, alcohol or medical products. One moment of distraction while handling electrical
equipment can cause serious injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Personal protection
equipment such as dust masks, non-slip shoes, helmets or ear protection used for appropriate
conditions reduce personal harm.
c) Avoid accidental start-ups. Ensure that the switch is in the “off” position before
connecting to the power supply and/or battery, picking up or moving the equipment.
Transporting electrical equipment while switched on and running is very dangerous and can
cause an accident.
d) Remove any keys or tools before turning the electrical equipment on. A key or a tool
connected to a rotating part of an electrical equipment may cause harm.
e) Keep feet rmly on the ground and maintain your balance at all times. This allows greater
control of the electrical equipment in unexpected situations.
f) Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and
clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can get caught in
moving parts.
g) Do not allow condence gained through frequent use of the equipment to cause you to
ignore the general safety principles. One careless move can cause serious injury.
1.4 Use and care of the electrical equipment
a) Do not force the electrical equipment. Use the electrical equipment in a way that is
appropriate for your application. Using the electrical equipment correctly will make work
better and safer at the speed for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the electrical equipment if you are unable to move the switch from “on” to
“off” and vice versa. Any electrical equipment that you are unable to control with the switch
is dangerous and should be repaired.
c) Unplug the power source plug and/or remove the battery, if possible, before making
an adjustment, replacing an accessory or storing the electrical equipment. Preventative
measures like this reduce the risk of starting the equipment by accident.
d) Keep inactive electrical equipment out of the reach of children and do not allow people
who are not familiar with the equipment or with these instructions to handle them.
Electrical equipment is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain electrical equipment and accessories. Ensure that moving parts are not
misaligned or blocked, that there are no broken parts and other conditions that may
affect the operation of the electrical equipment. Electrical equipment should be repaired
before use, when it is damaged. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained electrical
equipment.
f) Use the electrical equipment, accessories and equipment tips, etc. in accordance with
these instructions, bearing in mind the work conditions and the work to be carried out.
Using the electrical equipment for applications different from those intended may provoke a
hazardous situation.
g) Keep handles and gripping surfaces dry, clean and free of oil and grease. Slippery
handles and gripping surfaces prevent safe gripping and control of the equipment in certain
situations.
1.5 Maintenance
a) Have your electrical equipment serviced by a qualied service technician and only use
appropriate, genuine Rothenberger spare parts. This guarantees that the safety of the
electrical equipment is maintained.
