moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or
long hair can become trapped in moving parts.
g) If vacuum dust extraction and
collection devices are fitted do
not forget to check that they are
properly connected and correctly
used. The use of these devices reduces the
hazard presented by dust.
4. Careful handling and use of
electrical tools
a) Do not overload the device. Always
use an electrical power tool that
is intended for the task you are
undertaking. By using the right electrical
power tool for the job you will work more
safely and achieve a better result.
b) Do not use an electrical power tool
if its switch is defective. An electrical
power tool that can no longer be switched on
and off is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Pull the mains plug from the socket
before you make any adjustments
to the device, change accessories
or when the device is put away. This
precaution is intended to prevent you from
unintentionally starting the device.
d) When not in use always ensure that
electrical power tools are kept out of
reach of children. Do not let anyone
use the device if he or she is not
familiar with it or has not read the
instructions and advice. Electrical power
tools are dangerous when they are used by
inexperienced people.
e) Look after the device carefully.
Check that moving parts are working
properly and move freely. Check
for any parts that are broken or
damaged enough to detrimentally
affect the functioning of the device.
Have damaged parts repaired
before you use the device. Many
accidents have their origins in poorly
maintained electrical power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools clean and sharp.
General safety advice
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to jam and are
easier to control.
g) Use the electrical power tool,
accessories, inserted tools etc. in
accordance with these instructions
and advice, and the stipulations
drawn up for this particular type
of device. In doing this, take into
account the working conditions and
the task in hand.
The use of electrical power tools for purposes
other than those intended can lead to
dangerous situations.
