1. SECURITY OF EMPLOYMENT
a. Keep your working area clean and well illuminated. Disorder
or unilluminated working areas can cause accidents.
b. Do not work in explosive ambiences with the electric tool, in
which there are flammable liquid, gases or dusts. Electric tools
generate sparks which can inflame the dust or vapours.
c. Keep children and other persons away from electric tool while
using it. When being distracted you can loose control of the device.
2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a. The mains plug of the electric tool must fit into the socket. The
plug must not be changed in any kind. Do not use adaptor
plugs together with earthed electric tools. Unmodified plugs and
fitting plugs reduce the risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces, like tubes, heatings,
cookers and fridges. There is a higher chance of electric shock
when your body is earthed.
c. Keep your electric tool away from rain or wetness. The
infiltration of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an
electric shock.
d. Do not divert the cord from its intended use from carrying or
hanging up the electric tool, or for pulling the plugs from the
socket. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving device parts. Damaged or tangled cords increase the risk
of an electric shock.
e. If you work outside with your electric tool, only use extension
cords that are appropriate for outside use.
extension cord which is appropriate for outside use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
