2. Algemene Veiligheidsinstruksies

Volg altyd basiese veiligheidsmaatreëls wanneer u elektriese gereedskap gebruik om die risiko van brand, elektriese skok en persoonlike besering te verminder.

• Werksarea veiligheid: Hou jou werkarea skoon en goed belig. Oorvol of donker areas nooi ongelukke uit. Moenie elektriese gereedskap in plofbare atmosfere gebruik nie, soos in die teenwoordigheid van vlambare vloeistowwe, gasse of stof.
• Elektriese veiligheid: Kraggereedskapproppe moet by die aansluiting pas. Moet nooit die prop op enige manier verander nie. Vermy liggaamskontak met geaarde oppervlaktes soos pype, verkoelers, stowe en yskaste.
• Persoonlike veiligheid: Dra altyd oogbeskerming. Gebruik stofmaskers, glyvaste veiligheidskoene, harde helms of gehoorbeskerming vir gepaste omstandighede. Trek behoorlik aan. Moenie los klere of juweliersware dra nie. Hou hare en klere weg van bewegende dele.
• Gereedskap gebruik en versorging: Moenie die kraggereedskap forseer nie. Gebruik die korrekte kraggereedskap vir u toepassing. Ontkoppel die prop van die kragbron voordat u enige aanpassings maak, bykomstighede verander of kraggereedskap bêre.
• Onderhoud: Onderhou kraggereedskap. Kontroleer of die bewegende onderdele nie in lyn gebring of gebind is nie, of die onderdele breek of enige ander toestand wat die werking van die elektriese werktuig kan beïnvloed.
