Safety Information - EINHELL TC-PL 900 Manual De Instrucciones Original

Important!
When using equipment, a few safety precautions
must be observed to avoid injuries and damage.
Please read the complete operating manual with
due care. Keep this manual in a safe place, so
that the information is available at all times. If
you give the equipment to any other person, give
them these operating instructions as well.
We accept no liability for damage or accidents
which arise due to non-observance of these inst-
ructions and the safety information.

1. Safety information

CAUTION!
Read all safety regulations and instructions.
Any errors made in following the safety regula-
tions and instructions may result in an electric
shock, fi re 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 regu-
lations refers to electric tools operated from the
mains power supply (with a power cable) and to
battery operated electric tools (without a power
cable).
1. Workplace safety
•
Keep your work area clean and well illumina-
ted. Untidy or unlit work areas can result in
accidents.
•
Do not use this tool in a potentially explosive
environment containing combustible liquids,
gases or dust. Electric tools generate sparks,
which can in turn ignite dust or vapors.
•
Keep children and other persons away from
the electric tool while it is being used. Al-
lowing yourself to get distracted can cause
you to lose control of the tool.
2. Electrical safety
•
The tool's connector plug must be able to fit
into the socket outlet. Do not modify the plug
in any way! Do not use adapter plugs in con-
junction with electrically grounded tools. Un-
modified plugs and matching socket outlets
reduce the risk of an electric shock.
•
Avoid touching grounded surfaces, such as
those of pipes/tubes, heaters, cookers and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of

GB
getting an electric shock if you are electrically
grounded.
•
Keep the tool away from rain and moisture/
wet conditions. Penetration of water into an
electric tool increases the risk of an electric
shock.
•
Do not use the cable to carry the tool, hang it
up or pull the plug out of the socket. Keep the
cable away from sources of heat, oil, sharp
edges and moving tool parts. Damaged or
tangled cable increases the risk of an electric
shock.
•
If you intend to use an electric tool outdoors,
ensure that you only use extension cable that
is approved for outdoor applications. Using
extension cable that is approved for outdoor
applications reduces the risk of an electric
shock.
•
If operation of the electric tool in a damp
environment can not be avoided, use a earth-
leakage circuit-breaker. The earth-leakage
circuit-breaker reduces the risk of an electric
shock.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY
•
Be alert, work conscientiously and exercise
appropriate caution when using the electric
tool. Do not use the tool if you are tired or are
under the influence of drugs/medication or
alcohol. One moment of carelessness or lack
of attention when using the electric tool can
cause serious bodily injury!
•
Always wear personal protective equipment
(PPE), including safety goggles. Wearing
personal protective equipment such as a dust
mask, non-slip footwear, protective headgear
and ear muffs (depending upon the type of
electric tool and the particular application)
reduces the risk of sustaining injury.
•
Make sure that the tool cannot start up acci-
dentally. Ensure that the electric tool is swit-
ched off before you connect the tool to the
power supply and/or insert the battery, or pick
up or carry the tool. Physically touching the
switch with your finger when carrying the tool
or connecting the tool to the power supply
switched on can lead to accidents.
•
Remove adjusting tools/wrench(es) prior to
switching on the power tool. A tool or wrench
that is positioned inside a rotating power tool
part can cause injury.
•
Avoid abnormal working postures. Make sure
you stand squarely and keep your balance
at all times. This way, you will be able to have
