3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 General safety instructions for power tools
WARNING!
Read all safety instructions, instructions, illustrations and technical data that are provided with this power tool.
Failure to comply with the following instructions can lead to an electric shock, fire and/or series injuries.
- Keep all safety instructions and other instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" used in the safety instructions refers to mains-operated power tools (with mains line) and to battery-operated power tools (without mains line).
3.1.1 Electrical safety
■ Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces such as on pipes, heaters, cookers and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
- Keep electrical tools out of the rain and away from moisture. Water getting into an electrical tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
3.1.2 Personal safety
- Be alert, pay attention to what you are doing and take a cautious approach to working with a power tool. Do not use a power tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medicines. A moment's in-attentiveness when using the power tool can result in serious injury.
■ Wear personal protective equipment, and always use safety goggles. The injury risk can be reduced by wearing personal protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-slip shoes, a protective helmet or ear defenders, depending on the type and application of the power tool.
- Avoid starting to operate the appliance inadvertently. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the power tool. Accidents can be caused by leaving your finger on the
switch when you carry the power tool or when you connect it to the power supply.
■ Remove the adjusting tools or spanner before you switch on the power tool. A tool or spanner that is in a rotating part of the power tool can cause injury.
- Avoid an abnormal bodily posture. Make sure you can stand safely and keep your balance at all times. This will enable you to control the power tool better if something unexpected happens.
■ Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear baggy clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can be snagged on moving parts.
If dust extraction and catchment devices can be mounted, then these must be connected and correctly used. Using a dust extraction system can reduce the risk caused by dust.
- Do not give yourself a false sense of safety; do not ignore the safety rules for power tools even if you are familiar with the power tool after using it many times.
One careless action can lead to serious injuries within seconds.
3.1.3 Use and handling of the electrical tool
- Do not overload the power tool. Use the appropriate power tool for the job you are doing. Using the appropriate power tool will enable you to work more effectively and safely in the specified performance range.
- Do not use a power tool if it has a defective switch. A power tool that can no longer be switched on or off is dangerous and must be repaired.
■ Disconnect the plug from the socket and/or remove the battery before you make adjustments to the appliance, replace parts or put the power tool away. This precautionary measure will prevent the power tool from starting inadvertently. -
Keep unused power tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow people to use the power tool if they are not familiar with it or have not read these instructions. Power tools are dangerous if they are used by inexperienced people.
-
Look after power tools and the insertion tool with care. Check whether moving parts function perfectly and do not stick, whether there are any broken parts or parts that are damaged in such a way that the function of the power tool is impaired. Have damaged parts repaired before using the power tool. Many accidents are caused by failure to maintain power tools properly.
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharper cutting edges are less likely to stick and are easier to control.
■ Use power tools, accessories, insertion tools, etc. according to these instructions. When doing so, take account of the working conditions and the activity to be undertaken. Using power tools for applications other than the intended purpose can result in dangerous situations. - Keep the grips and grip surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery grips and grip surfaces pre-
vent safe operation and control of the power tool in unforeseen situations.
3.1.4 Safety in the workplace
- Keep your working area clean, and make sure it is well illuminated. Untidiness or dimly lit working areas can lead to accidents.
- Do not work with the power tool in a potentially explosive atmosphere with the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools give rise to sparks that can ignite the dust or vapours.
- Keep children and other people away from the power tool when using it. If you are distracted, you may lose control of the power tool.
3.1.5 Use and handling of the rechargeable battery-operated tool
■ Only recharge batteries with chargers that are recommended by the manufacturer. Using a charger intended for one particular type of rechargeable battery with a different type of rechargeable battery represents a fire risk.
■ Only use batteries in the power tools that are intended for this purpose. Using
other batteries can lead to in- juries and represents the risk of fire.
- Keep the unused rechargeable battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that could short-circuit the contacts. A short circuit between the rechargeable battery contacts can result in burns or fire.
■ Incorrect use can result in fluid leaking out of the rechargeable battery. Avoid coming into contact with it. In case of inadvertent contact, rinse off with water. If the fluid gets into your eyes, additionally seek medical assistance. Leaking rechargeable battery fluid can lead to skin irritations or burns.
- Do not use a damaged or changed rechargeable battery. Damaged or changed batteries can behave unpredictably and lead to fire, explosion or a risk of injury.
- Do not expose a rechargeable battery to fire or high temperatures. Fire or temperatures over 130 °C can cause an explosion.
■ Comply with all of the instructions for charging, and never charge the rechargeable battery or the rechargeable battery-operated tool outside of the temperature range specified in the operating instructions. Incorrect charging or charging outside of the permissible temperature range can destroy the rechargeable battery and increase the risk of fire.
3.1.6 Service
- For your own safety, only have your power tool repaired by qualified specialist personnel using genuine spare parts. This ensures that the power tool remains safe. - Never maintain damaged batteries. All rechargeable battery maintenance should only ever be undertaken by the manufacturer or authorised customer service points.
3.2 Safety of persons, animals and property
■ Note that the user is responsible for accidents and damage that may befall other persons or their property.
■ Use the appliance only for the purposes for which it is intended. Any non-intended use can lead to injury and property damage.
■ Switch on the appliance only when there are no other persons or animals in the working area.
- Maintain a safe distance to persons or animals, or switch off the appliance if persons or animals approach.
3.2.1 Vibration load
WARNING!
Danger due to vibration
The actual magnitude of the vibration emissions during the use of the appliance may deviate from that stated by the manufacturer. Observe the following influencing factors before or during use:
■ Is the appliance being used as intended?
■ Is the material being cut or processed in the proper manner?
■ Is the appliance in a proper condition of use?
Is the cutting tool properly sharpened or is the correct cutting tool installed?
Are the handle grips and any optional vibration grips mounted, and are they firmly attached to the appliance?
■ Only operate the appliance at the motor speed required for the respective work. Avoid using the maximum speed in order to reduce noise and vibrations.
■ The noise and vibrations of the appliance can increase due to improper use and maintenance. This leads to damage of the health. In this case, immediately switch off the appliance and have it repaired by an authorised service workshop.
The degree of stress due to vibration depends on the work to be performed or on the use that the appliance is put to. Estimate the stress and plan appropriate work breaks. This considerably reduces stress due to vibration over the entire working time.
■ Extensive use of the appliance exposes the operator to vibrations, which can lead to circulatory issues ("white fingers"). To avoid this risk, wear gloves and keep your hands warm. If any symptoms of "white fingers" occur, immediately consult a physician. These symptoms include: Numbness, loss of feeling, tingling, itching, pain, reduced muscular strength, changes in the colour or condition of the skin. Normally these conditions affect the fingers, hands or pulse. The risk increases at low temperatures.
Take long breaks during your working day so you can recover from the noise and the vibrations. Plan your work in such a way that the use of appliances that generate strong vibrations is spread over several days.
If you notice an unpleasant sensation or discolouration of the skin on your hands when using the appliance, stop work immediately. Take sufficient work breaks. Without sufficient breaks, a hand/arm vibration syndrome can occur.
- Minimise your risk of being exposed to vibrations. Maintain the appliance according to the instructions in the operating instructions.
If the appliance is used frequently, contact your dealer to purchase anti-vibration accessories (e.g. handles).
- Avoid working with the appliance at temperatures below 10 °C. Define how the vibration load can be limited in a work plan.
3.2.2 Noise pollution
A certain level of noise exposure from this appliance is inevitable. Carry out noisy work at approved and specified time peri-
ods. Observe rest periods as necessary and restrict the duration of the work to a minimum. For your personal protection and protection of persons in the vicinity, appropriate hearing protection must be worn.
