Personal Safety - Würth HKS 86-2 Originalbetriebsanleitung

f) If operation of an electrical device in a wet
environment is unavoidable, use a power
source protected by a leakage current circuit
breaker (residual-current circuit breaker or
RCD). Using a leakage current circuit breaker decreases
the risk of electric shock.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

a) Stay alert, pay attention to what you do, and
use caution when working with a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the infl uence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. One moment of inattention when operat-
ing an electrical device can lead to severe injury.
b) Wear personal protection gear, and always
wear safety glasses. Wearing personal protection
gear, such as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, a safety
helmet and ear protectors, depending on the way the
power tool is used, decreases the risk of injury.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Make sure
that the switch is in the OFF position before
you connect the device to the power supply
and/or battery, or when you pick up or carry
the device. Accidents can result if you carry the power
tool with your fi nger on the switch or connect the device
to the power source while it is switched on.
d) Remove all adjustment wrenches or tools
before you turn the electrical device on. Tools
or wrenches can cause injury if they are on the rotating
parts of the electrical device.
e) Avoid abnormal postures. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times. This will enable you
to keep the power tool under control in unexpected
situations.
f) Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery and long hair can get caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices for connection to a dust extractor
or dust collector are provided, make sure that
they are correctly connected and used. Using
dust collectors can reduce dust hazards.
4) USING AND CARING FOR THE ELECTRICAL
DEVICE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the appropri-
ate power tool for your work. The right device
will do the job better, if it is used as intended.
b) Never use a power tool if its switch is defec-
tive. Any power tool that can no longer be switched
on or off is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the electrical device from the
power grid and/or the batteries before ad-
justing the device, changing its accessories or
storing it. These preventative measures decrease the
danger of the electrical device starting unintentionally.
d) When electrical devices are not being used,
store them out of the reach of children, and do
not allow persons to operate the tool if they
are unfamiliar with it or with these instruc-
tions. Electrical devices are dangerous in the hands of
untrained persons.
e) Maintain the electrical device. Check to see
whether movable parts are warped or dis-
torted, if parts are broken or in a condition
that can impair operation of the electrical
device. If there is damage, have the electrical
device repaired before you use it. Many acci-
dents are caused by defi cient maintenance of electrical
devices.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Correctly
maintained cutting tools with sharp blades block less
often and are easier to keep under control.
g) Use electric devices, accessories, inserts (bit),
etc., according to these instructions and in
consideration of the working conditions and
the task. Using the electric device for unintended
purposes can lead to dangerous situations.
5) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced only by
a qualifi ed specialist and only with original
replacement parts. This will ensure that your device
stays safe.

DANGER:
a) Keep your hands away from the sawing area
and the saw blade. Keep the other hand on the ad-
ditional grip or on the motor housing. When you hold
the saw with both hands, the saw blade cannot injure
your hands.
b) Do not reach underneath the work piece. The
guard cannot protect you from the saw blade underneath
the work piece.
