5 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all safety warnings and instructions.

5.1

Working area

 Keep working area clean and well lit. Untidy and dark areas can lead to accidents.
 Do not operate tools in potentially explosive surroundings, for example, in the presence of

inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

 Keep children and bystanders at a distance when operating a tool. Distractions can cause

you to lose control of it.

5.2

Personal safety

 Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a tool. Do

not use a tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention when operating a tool may result in serious personal injury.

 Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Using safety equipment such as a

dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection whenever it is needed
will reduce the risk of personal injury.

 Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on the tool. A spanner or key left

attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

 Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all times. This will enable

you retain control over the tool in unexpected situations.

 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and

gloves away from the tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can become entangled in
the moving parts.

 Inspect the entire machine for loose parts (nuts, bolts, screws, etc.) and any damage.

Repair or replace as necessary before using the machine.
