Personal Safety - KRESS 420 ST E Manual Original

16 English
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
EN
body is grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car-
rying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an ex-
tension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is un-
avoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a 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 safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropri-
ate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
Prevent
Ensure the switch is in the off-posi-
tion
source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger
on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
ST-EN / 0902
unintentional
before connecting to power
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn-
ing the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of
the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in un-
expected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
ellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for connecting dust extrac-
tion and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust related haz-
ards.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
starting.
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the pow-
er tool or these instructions to operate the power
tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of un-
trained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool re-
paired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
