2. Algemene Veiligheidsinstruksies

WAARSKUWING! Lees alle veiligheidswaarskuwings, instruksies, illustrasies en spesifikasies wat by hierdie elektriese gereedskap voorsien word. Versuim om alle instruksies hieronder gelys te volg, kan elektriese skok, brand en/of ernstige beserings tot gevolg hê.

2.1 Werkareaveiligheid

• Hou die werkarea skoon en goed belig. Deurmekaar of donker areas nooi ongelukke uit.
• Moenie elektriese gereedskap in plofbare atmosfeer gebruik nie, soos in die teenwoordigheid van vlambare vloeistowwe, gasse of stof. Elektriese gereedskap skep vonke wat die stof of dampe kan aansteek.
• Hou kinders en omstanders weg terwyl 'n elektriese gereedskap gebruik word. Afleidings kan veroorsaak dat jy beheer verloor.

2.2 Elektriese veiligheid

• Kraggereedskapproppe moet by die uitlaat pas. Moet nooit die prop op enige manier verander nie.
• Vermy liggaamskontak met geaarde of geaarde oppervlaktes, soos pype, verkoelers, reekse en yskaste. Daar is 'n verhoogde risiko van elektriese skok as jou liggaam geaard of geaard is.
• Moenie elektriese gereedskap aan reën of nat toestande blootstel nie. Water wat 'n elektriese gereedskap binnedring, sal die risiko van elektriese skok verhoog.

2.3 Persoonlike veiligheid

• Dra altyd gepaste persoonlike beskermende toerusting (PPE), insluitend veiligheidsbril, gehoorbeskerming, handskoene en 'n stofmasker.
• Bly wakker, kyk wat jy doen en gebruik gesonde verstand wanneer jy 'n elektriese gereedskap gebruik.
• Moenie oorreik nie. Hou te alle tye behoorlike voet en balans. Dit maak 'n beter beheer van die kraggereedskap moontlik in onverwagte situasies.

2.4 Gebruik en versorging van kraggereedskap

• Moenie die elektriese gereedskap forseer nie. Gebruik die regte kraggereedskap vir jou toepassing.
• Ontkoppel die prop van die kragbron voordat enige aanpassings gemaak word, bykomstighede verander word of kraggereedskap gestoor word.
• Berg ledige elektriese gereedskap buite bereik van kinders en moenie toelaat dat persone wat nie vertroud is met die elektriese gereedskap of hierdie instruksies nie die elektriese gereedskap gebruik nie.
