Electrical safety rules

ATTENTION! When using electrical tools,
the following safety instructions should
be observed to prevent the risk of
electric shock, personal injury and fire. Read and
observe these instructions carefully before using
the tool.
• It is recommended for increased electrical
safety to use a Residual Current Device (RCD) with
a tripping current of not more than 30 mA. Always
EN
check your RCD every time you use it. Consult a
reliable electrician.
WARNING! The use of an RCD or other
circuit breaker unit does not release the
operator from the safety instructions
and safe working practices given in this manual.
• The main voltage must correspond to the one
marked on the technical data plate. Do not use
other sources of power.
• Before inserting the plug in the main socket,
make sure that the socket ratings are correct and
correspond to those indicated on the rating label on
the appliance.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
This increases risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
CAUTION: touching electrified parts
may cause death by electric shock or
burn.
• Never move the appliance by pulling at the cables.
• Do not abuse the cord. Keep it away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
• Always guide the connection line safely.
• Do not use power tools near flammable liquids
or gases.
• Always disconnect the appliance from the mains
supply before transporting it to other places.
CAUTION: The appliance should always
be switched off at the mains before
disconnecting any plug and socket
connector or extension cables.
• Never pass the appliance over the extension
cable while the tool is working. Make sure you
always know where the cable is.
• Do not wire an extension cable directly into your
device yourself. Instead, take the device to your
nearest authorized Service Centre.
ATTENTION! DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
Consider working area environment. Do not expose
power tools to rain. Do not use power tools in
damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit and
dry. Try to prevent the device from getting wet or
being exposed to humidity. Do not leave it outside
overnight. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
• The power supply cable should be checked
regularly and, before using it, make sure the cable
is not damaged or worn out. If the cable is not in
good condition, do not use the appliance; take it to
an authorized service centre.
• When tool is used outdoor, only use an extension
cable that is suitable for outdoor work and which is
marked for this specific use. Keep it away from the
working area, from damp, wet or oily surfaces and
away from heat and fuels.
• To avoid danger, damaged power cord should
be replaced by manufacturer or its agent, or similar
qualified person.
• Immediately unplug the tool when its cable is
damaged or cut.
• Avoid any accidental starting: make sure the
switch is "off" before plugging it in.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before
turning the tool on.
• Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn
the tool on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
WARNING! During the use of the tool,
some dust containing chemicals known to
cause cancer, may occur. Some of these
chemicals are: lead from lead based paints, crystalline
silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber and other dangerous products. If dust
is present, your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals, any time
you do pulverulent operations, work in a well
ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment, such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• If the appliance strikes a foreign body, examine the
device for signs of damage and carry out any necessary
repairs before restarting and continuing to work.
• If the appliance starts to vibrate abnormally, turn
it off and check for the cause immediately. Vibration
is generally a warning of trouble.
