SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOLS
WARNING!
Read all the safety instructions and other instructions. Failure to follow all
the instructions and safety instructions can result in the risk of electric
shock, fire and/or serious personal injury. Save all warnings and instructions
for future reference. The term “power tool” in all the warnings below refers
to mains-powered (corded) or battery-powered (cordless) power tools
WORK AREA
- Keep the work area clean and well lit. Dark and cluttered work areas increase the risk of accidents and injuries.
- Do not use power tools in explosive environments, such as in the vicinity of flammable liquids, gas or dust. Power tools produce sparks that can ignite dust and fumes.
- Keep onlookers, especially children, at a safe distance when using power tools. You can easily lose control of the power tool if you are distracted.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
- The plug on the power tool must match the power point. Never modify the plug in any way. Never use an adapter with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching power points reduce the risk of electric shock.
- Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
- Do not expose power tools to rain or moisture. There is a greater risk of electric shock if water gets into a power tool.
- Be careful with the power cord. Never use the power cord to carry or pull the tool, or to pull out the plug from the mains socket. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or tangled power cords increase the risk of electric shock.
- If using the tool outdoors, only use an extension cord approved for outdoor use. Cords intended for outdoor use reduce the risk of electric shock.
- If it is absolutely necessary to use power tools in damp conditions, use a mains connection protected by a residual current device (RDC). Using an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
-
Stay alert. Pay attention to what you are doing, and use your common sense when working with power tools. Never use power tools if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention or carelessness can result in serious personal injury.
-
Use personal safety equipment. Wear safety glasses or a visor. Depending on the type of tool and how it is used, safety equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets and ear protection reduce the risk of personal injury.
-
Avoid accidental starting. Check that the power switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the plug or battery, or lifting/carrying the tool. Carrying a power tool with your finger on the switch or connecting a tool to the mains supply when the switch is in the ON position increases the risk of accidents and injuries.
-
Remove adjuster keys/spanners before switching on the power tool. Spanners or the like that are left in a rotating part of the power tool can cause personal injury.
-
Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm footing and good balance. This ensures better control over the power tool in unexpected situations.
-
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose-fitting clothing, jewellery and long hair can get caught in moving parts.
-
If dust extraction and dust collection equipment is available, this should be connected and used correctly. The use of such devices can reduce the risk of
dust-related problems. -
Do not allow familiarity with similar tools to lead to exaggerated self-confidence and to neglect the safety instructions for the tool. A moment of inattention or carelessness can result in serious personal injury.
USING AND LOOKING AFTER POWER TOOLS
- Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for the planned work. The tool does the job better and more safely when used at the rate for which it was designed.
- Do not use the power tool if it cannot be switched on and off with the power switch. Power tools that cannot be controlled with the power switch are dangerous and must be repaired.
- Pull out the plug and/or remove the battery before making any adjustments, changing accessories or putting the power tool away. These safety precautions reduce the risk of accidentally starting the power tool.
- Store power tools out of the reach of children when not in use. Never allow children, or anyone who is unfamiliar with the power tool and these instructions, to use the tool. Power tools are dangerous if used by inexperienced persons.
- Maintain power tools and accessories. Check that moving parts are properly adjusted and do not jam, and that no parts are incorrectly fitted or damaged. Check for other factors that could affect functionality. If a power tool is damaged it must be repaired before it is used again. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
- Use the power tool, accessories and bits etc., in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the actual working conditions and the work that is to be done. It can be dangerous to use power tools for purposes other than those for which they are intended to be used.
- Keep handles and grips clean, dry and free from oil and grease. Greasy handles and grips make it difficult to hold and control the tool in unexpected situations.
USING AND MAINTAINING BATTERYPOWERED TOOLS
- Only charge the battery with the charger recommended by the manufacturer. Charging other batteries can result in a risk of personal injury and/or fire.
- Only use batteries recommended by the manufacturer. The use of other batteries can result in a risk of personal injury and/or fire.
- When the battery is not in use keep it away from metal objects such as paperclips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other small metal objects that can short circuit the terminals. Short circuiting discharges large amounts of energy that can cause a fire and/or burn injuries.
- Failure to handle the battery carefully can cause fluid to leak from the battery. Avoid contact with battery fluid. On contact with battery fluid, rinse immediately with plenty of fresh water. Seek medical attention if you get battery fluid in your eyes. Battery fluid can cause skin irritation and/or burns.
- Do not use damaged or modified batteries, or power tools that are damaged. Damaged or modified batteries can behave unexpectedly and cause a fire, explosion or risk of personal injury.
- Do not expose batteries or power tools to naked flames or heat. Batteries can explode when exposed to naked flames or temperatures higher than 130°C.
- Follow the instructions for charging and charge the battery only at the temperature indicated in the instructions. Incorrect charging or charging outside the given temperature range can damage the battery and cause a fire.
SERVICE
- Power tools must only be serviced by qualified personnel using identical spare parts. This will ensure that the power tool remains safe to use.
- Never attempt to repair damaged batteries. The battery must only be serviced by the manufacturer or at an authorised service centre.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORDLESS SCREWDRIVER
Hold the power tool by the insulated grips when working in areas where the
tool could come into contact with concealed electrical cables or its own power
cord. Contact with a live cable will cause the metal parts on the power tool
to also become live – risk of electric shock.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF LONG DRILLS
- Never work with a speed higher than the rated speed for the drill. At higher speed there is a risk that a freely rotating drill without contact with the workpiece can bend and cause personal injury.
- Always start drilling at low speed and with the tip of the drill in contact with the workpiece. At higher speed there is a risk that a freely rotating drill without contact with the workpiece can bend and cause personal injury.
- Only apply pressure in line with the drill. Do not press too hard. The drill can bend, which can cause it to break, or that you loose control of the tool, and result in personal injury.
ACCESSORIES/ATTACHMENTS
Only use the accessories and attachments specified in the instructions and
which are compatible with the product.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY CHARGER
This product can be used by children from 8 years of age and by persons with
physical, sensorial or mental disabilities, or persons who lack experience or
knowledge, if they are supervised or receive instructions concerning the safe
use of the product and understand the risks involved. Keep children under
supervision to make sure they do not play with the tool. Do not allow children
to clean or maintain the tool without supervision.
Symbols
The following symbols can be of importance for how you should use your power
tool. Make sure you understand the symbols and their significance.
SYMBOLS
- Read the instructions.
- Approved in accordance with the relevant directives.
- Recycle discarded product in accordance with local regulations.
Always wear ear protection!
The declared values for vibration and noise, which have been measured
according to a standardised test method, can be used to compare different
tools with each other and for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The
measurement values have been determined in accordance with EN 62841-2-1:2018
WARNING!
The actual vibration and noise level when using tools may differ from the
specified maximum value, depending on how the tool is used and the material.
It is therefore necessary to determine which safety precautions are required
to protect the user, based on an estimate of exposure in actual operating
conditions (taking into account all stages of the work cycle, e.g. the time
when the tool is switched off and when it is idling, in addition to the start-
up time).
