14. Security warnings
14.1 Introduction
This chapter reproduces the pre-formulated, general safety precautions specified in the IEC 60745 standard
for handheld motor-operated electric tools.
Bellota is obliged to publish these texts. The safety precautions and warnings on avoiding an electric shock
given under 2 (Electric Precautions) do not apply to Bellota cordless electric power tools.
Warning! Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions
for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
14.2 Work area safety
1.
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
14.3 Electrical safety
1.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigera-
tors. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
4.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, hanging up, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increa-
se the risk of electric shock.
5.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
extension suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
6.
If operating a power tool in a damp location isunavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protec-
ted supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
