General Safety Warnings

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases or dust.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a powered tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating

a powered tool. Do not use a powered tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while

operating a powered tool may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective

equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position when not

operating the tool and make use of other safety features which prevent unintentional
starting

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the powered tool on. A

wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal
injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables

better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing

and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be

caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection

facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection

can reduce dust-related hazards.

WARNING: User exposure to tool vibration can result in loss of sense of touch, numbness,
tingling and reduced ability to grip. Long term exposure can lead to a chronic condition.
If necessary limit the length of time exposed to vibration. Use the figures provided in the
specification relating to vibration if provided to calculate the duration and frequency of
operating the tool. The 2002/44/EC directive relating to vibration in the workplace may
provide useful information even for domestic use of tools. In the first instance of feeling
uncomfortable due to vibration STOP using the tool immediately.

WARNING: Always wear ear protection where the sound level exceeds 85dB(A) and limit the
time of exposure if necessary. If sound levels are uncomfortable even with ear protection stop
using the tool immediately and check the ear protection is correctly fitted and provides the
right level of sound attenuation for the level of sound produced by your tool.

3) Tool use and care

a) Maintain tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage

of parts and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by

Consignes générales de sécurité

AVERTISSEMENT Veuillez lire l’intégralité des consignes de sécurité et des
instructions. Le non-respect de ces consignes et instructions peut entraîner un risque de

choc électrique, d’incendie et/ou se traduire par des blessures graves.

Veuillez conserver ces instructions et consignes de sécurité pour référence
ultérieure.

Sécurité sur la zone de travail

a) Maintenir une zone de travail propre et bien éclairée. Des zones encombrées et

mal éclairées sont sources d’accidents.

b) Ne pas utiliser d’outils dans des environnements explosifs, tels qu’à proximité

de liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inflammables.

c) Eloigner les enfants et les passants pendant l’utilisation d’un appareil

électrique. Ceux-ci peuvent provoquer une perte d’attention et faire perdre la

maîtrise de l’appareil.

Sécurité des personnes

a) Rester vigilent et faire preuve de bon sens lors de la manipulation de l’appareil.

Ne pas utiliser un appareil électrique lorsque l’on se trouve dans un état
de fatigue, ou sous l’influence de drogues, d’alcool ou de médicaments. Un

moment d’inattention pendant l’utilisation d’un outil électrique peut se traduire par
des blessures graves.

b) Porter un équipement de protection approprié. Toujours porter une protection

oculaire. Le port de masque à poussières, chaussures de sécurité antidérapantes,

casque de sécurité et protections antibruit adaptés aux différentes conditions de
travail réduit le risque de blessures corporelles.

c) Eviter tout démarrage accidentel ou intempestif. S’assurer que l’interrupteur

marche-arrêt soit en position d’arrêt lorsque l’appareil n’est utilisé.

d) Enlever toute clé et tout instrument de réglage avant de mettre l’appareil en

marche. Une clé ou un instrument de réglage laissé fixé à un élément en rotation de

l’appareil électrique peut entraîner des blessures physiques.

e) Ne pas essayer d’atteindre une zone hors de portée. Se tenir toujours en

position stable permettant de conserver l’équilibre. Cela permet de mieux

contrôler l’appareil électrique dans des situations inattendues.

f) Porter des vêtements appropriés. Ne pas porter de vêtements amples ou

des bijoux pendants. Eloigner cheveux, vêtements et gants des pièces en
mouvement. Les vêtements amples, les bijoux pendants et cheveux longs peuvent

être happés par les pièces en rotation.

g) Si l’appareil est pourvu de dispositifs destinés au raccord d’équipements

d’extraction et de récupération de la poussière/sciure, s’assurer qu’ils soient
bien fixés et utilisés correctement. L’utilisation de ces dispositifs peut réduire les

risques dus à la poussière.

ATTENTION : L’exposition de l’utilisateur aux vibrations d’un outil peut engendrer la perte
de sens du toucher, des engourdissements, picotements et réduire la préhension de
l’appareil. Des expositions prolongées peuvent engendrer l’apparition chronique de ces
symptômes. Si nécessaire, réduisez le temps d’utilisation de l’outil. Utilisez les cas de
figure avec les caractéristiques relatives aux vibrations, si données, pour calculer la durée
et la fréquence de l’utilisation de l’appareil. Les normes directives 2002/44/CE relatives
aux vibrations sur le lieu de travail peuvent fournir des informations pratiques même pour
un usage domestique. Si dans un premier temps vous commencez à sentir inconfortable à
cause des vibrations, ARRÊTER immédiatement l’utilisation de l’appareil.

ATTENTION : Toujours porter des protections auditives lorsque le niveau sonore excède
80 dB et limiter le temps d’exposition. Si les niveaux sonores ne sont pas assez atténués
avec un casque anti-bruit arrêter l’utilisation de l’appareil, et vérifiez bien que la protection
sonore soit bien appropriée par rapport au niveau sonore.

Utilisation et entretien des appareils

a) Entretien des appareils. Vérifier que les éléments rotatifs soient bien alignés

et non grippés. S’assurer de l’absence de pièces cassées ou endommagées
susceptibles de nuire au bon fonctionnement de l'appareil. Si l’appareil est
endommagé, le faire réparer avant toute utilisation. De nombreux accidents sont

dus à un mauvais entretien d’un outil.

b) Veiller à ce que les outils de coupe soient tenus affûtés et propres. Des outils de

coupe bien entretenus, aux tranchants bien affûtés, sont moins susceptibles de se
gripper et sont plus faciles à contrôler.

c) Utiliser l’appareil, les accessoires et outils à monter conformément à ces

instructions, en tenant compte des conditions de travail et de la tâche à
réaliser. Toute utilisa tion d’un appareil autre que celle pour laquelle il a été conçu

peut entraîner des situations à risque.
