Electrical safety :
CAUTION! The following states how
to avoid accidents and injuries due to
electric shock:
• Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock
• Avoid body contact with earthed
or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and ref-
rigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
• When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock. Use a
circuit breaker with a current limit of
30 mA or less.
• If the supply cord of this power tool is da-
maged, it must be replaced by
a specially prepared cord available
through the service organization.
Personal safety:
CAUTION! The following states how
to avoid accidents and injuries:
• Warning! Touching or inhaling
harmful or toxic dusts that may
arise from grinding paint contai-
ning lead or certain metals repre-
sents a danger to you and people
who are close by. You should therefo-
re protect yourself by wearing appropria-
te personal protective equipment such as
inhalation protection.
• Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A mo-
ment of inattention white operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
Wear personal protective equip-
•
ment and always wear safety
goggles. Wearing personal protective
equipment such as anti-slip safety shoes,
safety helmet, respiratory protection or
hearing protection can reduce the risk of
injury.
Prevent unintentional starting.
•
Ensure the switch is in the off-
position before connecting to po-
wer source and/or battery pack,
picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
