Personal Safety; Use And Handling Of The Power Tool - IKRA EGN 2500 Manual De Instrucciones

pull the plug out of the socket. Keep the cord away
from heat, oil and sharp edges or moving parts of the
tool. Damaged or tangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use exclu-
sively extension cords that are approved for outdoor-
use. The use of an extension cord that is suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If the operation of a power tool in a moist environment
cannot be avoided it is highly recommended to use
a residual current device (RCD). The use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.

4.3 Personal safety

• Always pay attention to what you do and apply reason-
able care when working with a power tool. Do not use
the power tool when you are tired or under the influ-
ence of medication, drugs or alcohol. When working
with power tools, even a short moment of inattentive-
ness may result in severe injury.
• Wear personal protection equipment and always wear
eye protection (safety goggles). Wearing personal
protection equipment as a dust mask, nonslip safety
shoes, safety helmet or ear protectors (depending on
the type and application of the tool) reduces the risk of
injury.
• Avoid unintentional operation. Make sure that the
power tool is switched off before you connect it to the
mains supply and/or the battery and whenever you
pick up or carry the tool. When carrying the tool with
your finger on the on/off switch or connecting the tool
to the mains supply with the switch in 'ON' position,
this may result in accidents.
• Remove adjustment tools or wrenches and the like
before you switch the power tool on. A wrench or other
tool that is inside or on a rotating part of the tool may
cause injury.
• Avoid unusual postures. Make sure to have a safe
footing and keep your balance at all times. This will al-
low you to better control the power tool in unexpected
situations.
• Wear suitable clothes. Do not wear wide clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothes and gloves clear of
all moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair
may get caught in moving parts.
• If dust extraction/collection devices are provided make
sure that they are connected and used properly. The
use of a dust extraction device may reduce risks
caused by dust.

4.4 Use and handling of the power tool

• Do not overtax the power tool. Use the power tool
intended for your type of work in each case. The use
of the suitable power tool within the stated range of
performance makes working more effective and safer.
• Do not use a power tool with a damaged switch. A
power tool that cannot be switched on or off any more
is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Pull the mains plug and/or remove the battery before
adjusting a tool, changing accessories or putting the
tool aside. This precaution avoids the unintentional
start of the tool.
