Remaining risks may be, for
example:
• Touching rotating parts or tools.
• Injury caused by flying tools or tool
parts.
• Risk of fire with insufficient ventilation
of the motor.
• Adverse effects on the hearing caused
by working without ear defenders.
The ability to work safely is dependant
on the familiarity of the operator when it
comes to handling the given electrical
tool. Appropriate knowledge of the
machinery and careful behaviour when
working help to minimise the remaining
risks.
WARNING! During operation, this
power tool generates an electro -
magnetic field. This field may, under
certain circumstances, influence
active or passive medical implants. In
order to reduce the risk of serious or
deadly injuries, we recommend persons
with such a medical implant to consult
their doctor and the manufacturer of the
medical implant before using the power
tool.
5 – General safety
instructions for handling
power tools
CAUTION! When using power
tools, observe the following
basic safety measures in order to
protect against electrical shock, risks
of injury and fire.
Read all of this advice before using
power tools and keep the safety advice
in a safe place.
1 Keep your workplace in good order
– Untidiness in the workplace may
result in accidents.
2 Take environmental influences into
account
– Do not expose power tools to
rain.
– Never operate power tools in
damp or wet environments.
– Ensure good ventilation of the
workplace.
– Do not use power tools in areas
prone to fire or explosion risks.
3 Protect yourself against electric
shock
– Avoid physical contact with
earthed parts (e.g. pipes,
radiators, electric ovens,
coolers).
4 Keep other people away
– Do not allow other people,
particularly children, to touch the
power tool or the cable. Keep
them away from your workplace.
5 Store power tools that are not in
use in a safe place
– Power tools that are not in use
should be stored in a dry, raised
or locked location out of the
reach of children.
6 Do not overload your power tool
– They function better and more
safely in the specified
performance range.
7 Use the right power tool
– Do not use low-performance
machinery for heavy-duty tasks.
– Do not use the power tool for a
purpose it is not designed for. Do
not, for example, use a circular
hand saw to cut tree branches or
logs.
