General safety advice for electrical power tools Additional safety … / Additional safety information for routers / Operation
b) Wear personal protective equipment
and always wear safety glasses. The
wearing of personal protective equipment such
as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety hel-
mets or ear protectors, appropriate to the type
of electrical power tool used and work under-
taken, reduces the risk of injury.
c) Avoid unintentional operation of the
device. Check that the electrical power
tool is switched off before you connect
it to the mains, pick it up or carry it.
Accidents can happen if you carry the device
with your finger on the ON / OFF switch or
with the device switched on.
d) Remove any setting tools or spanners
before you switch on the device. A tool
or spanner left attached to a rotating part of a
device can lead to injury.
e) Avoid placing your body in an unnat-
ural position. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. By doing this,
you will be in a better position to control the
electrical power tool in unforeseen circumstances.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves clear of mov-
ing parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long
hair can become trapped in moving parts.
g) If vacuum dust extraction and collec-
tion devices are fitted, do not forget
to check that they are properly con-
nected and used correctly. The use of
these devices reduces the hazard presented
by dust.
4. Careful handling and use of
electrical power tools
a) Do not overload the device. Always
use an electrical power tool that is
intended for the task you are under-
taking. 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 laid aside. This precaution is
intended to prevent you from unintentionally
starting the device.
d) Always ensure that electrical power
tools are kept out of reach of children
when not in use. Do not let anyone
use the device if he or she is not famil-
iar with it or has not read the instruc-
tions and advice. Electrical power tools
are dangerous when they are used by
inexperienced people.
e) Maintain the device carefully. Check
that moving parts are working prop-
erly and move freely. Check for any
parts that are broken or damaged
enough to detrimentally affect the
functioning of the device. Have dam-
aged 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.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to jam and are
easier to control.
g) Use the electrical power tool, accesso-
ries, inserted tools etc. in accordance
with these instructions and advice,
and the stipulations for this particular
type of device. When doing this, take
the working conditions into consider-
ation, as well as the task at hand. The
use of electrical power tools for purposes other
than those intended can lead to dangerous
situations.
5. Service
a) Only have the equipment repaired by
qualified specialist personnel using
OEM spare parts. This ensures that the
safety of the device is maintained.
