Personal Safety - Kress 550 HMSL Original Bedienungsanleitung

14 English
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
EN
body is 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 car-
rying, 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
electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an ex-
tension 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 una-
voidable, use a residual current device (RCD) pro-
tected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tired or under the in-
fluence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropri-
ate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power 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.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn-
ing the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of
the power tool may result in personal injury.
BH-EN / 1011
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in un-
expected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
ellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
If devices are provided for connecting dust extrac-
tion and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust related haz-
ards.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of un-
trained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tools op-
eration. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cut-
ting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions and in the
Safety rules
