General Safety Instructions for Electric Tool

CAUTION : Read all safety regulations and instructions. Any failures made in following the safety regulations and instructions may result in an electric shock, fire and/or serious injury
Keep all safety regulations and instructions in a safe place for future use. The term “electric tool” used in the safety instructions refers to electric tools operated from the mains power supply (with a power cable) and to battery operated electric tools (without a power cable).

Workplace

Keep your work area clean and tidy. Cluttered and dark working areas are accident-prone.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, where flammable liquids, gases or dust are pre-sent. Power tools generate sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and other persons away while opera-ting a power tool. Distractions can be a reason for losing control of the tool.

Electrical Safety

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adap-ter plugs with grounded devices. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Avoid physical contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. If your body is grounded the risk of an electric shock increases.
Do not expose the power tool to rain or wet conditions. Water that enters a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord; do not use the cord to carry or hang up the power tool or to unplug the power tool from the mains. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or the power tool’s moving parts. Damaged or tangled power cords will increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use only extension cords that are approved for outdoor use. The use of an extension cord that is adapted for out-door use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If working with the power tool in a damp location cannot be avoided, use a ground fault circuit interrupter. The use of a ground fault circuit interrupter reduces the risk of electric shock. Always check whether the mains voltage complies with the voltage specified on the nameplate of the power tool.

Personal safety

Stay alert: Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use the power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses. Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat or ear protection depending on the type and use of the power tool will reduce personal injuries.

Use personal protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses. Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat or ear protection depending on the type and use of the power tool will reduce personal injuries.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair may get caught in moving parts.
If dust extraction and collection units are installed, make sure that these are connected and properly used. Using such devices reduces hazards associated with dust.

Power tool use and care

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. With the correct power tool you will do the job better and safer at the specified power rate.
Do not use the power tool if it has a defective switch. A power tool, which cannot be turned on or off with the switch, is dangerous and must be repaired. Unplug the power cord from the outlet and/or re-move the battery before making any adjustments to the tool, changing accessories, or storing the power tool. Such preventive safety measures prevent star-ting the tool accidentally.

Store idle power tools out of children’s reach. Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Keep the power tools in good condition. Check that moving parts are functioning smoothly and do not lock, whether parts are broken or for any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are associated with poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are likely to block less and are easier to control.

Use the power tool, the accessories, bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of equipment. Take into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Using power tools for operations different from those intended can lead to hazardous situations.

Service

Have your electric tool repaired only by trained personnel using only genuine spare parts. This will ensure that your electric tool remains safe to use.

Additional Safety Instructions for Electrically Operated Mixing Units

The equipment must never be used in surroundings where an explosive atmosphere exists. Never mix in solvents or substances containing solvent that have flashpoints below 21°C.

Do not let the cable touch any parts of your body.
Only use the extension cable approved for use in the working area.
The unit must only be started and stopped when it is inside a mixing vessel. Ensure that the mixing vessel is placed on a solid, secure base.
Never reach into the mixing vessel with your hands or any other object during the mixing process.
We recommend that you always wear industrial safety gloves and safety googles when working with the mixer.
Wearing close-fitting clothes is mandatory.
