STATUS CP 115 07410601 [4/36] General safety rules

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the o position before plugging in.

Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have

the switch on invites accidents.

• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning 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 balance at all times. This enables better

control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. 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 the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,

ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust

related hazards.

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 it on and o. Any power tool

that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments,

changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce

the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons

unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage

of parts and any other condition that may aect the power tools operation. If

damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. 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 bind and are easier to control.

• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these

instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be

performed. Use of the power tool for op-erations dierent from those intended could

result in a hazardous situation.

SERVICE

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical

replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
