2. Opća sigurnosna uputstva

Always follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury when operating power tools. Read all instructions carefully before use.

2.1 Lična sigurnost

• Nosite odgovarajuću zaštitnu opremu: Uvijek nosite zaštitne naočale ili štitnik za lice, zaštitu za sluh i masku za prašinu.
• Obucite se pravilno: Ne nosite široku odjeću, rukavice, kravate ili nakit koji se može zaglaviti u pokretnim dijelovima. Zavežite dugu kosu.
• Održavajte pravilan položaj i ravnotežu: Nemojte pretjerati.
• Izbjegavajte slučajno pokretanje: Prije uključivanja alata u struju, provjerite je li prekidač u položaju ISKLJUČENO.

2.2 Sigurnost radnog područja

• Održavajte radni prostor čistim i dobro osvijetljenim: Zatrpana ili mračna područja izazivaju nesreće.
• Ne koristite električne alate u eksplozivnim atmosferama: Ne koristiti u prisustvu zapaljivih tečnosti, gasova ili prašine.
• Držite djecu i prolaznike podalje: Ometanje može uzrokovati da izgubite kontrolu.

2.3 Električna sigurnost

• Izbjegavajte kontakt tijela sa uzemljenim površinama: Kao što su cijevi, radijatori, šporeti i frižideri.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions: Ulazak vode u električni alat povećava rizik od strujnog udara.
• Nemojte zloupotrebljavati kabl: Nikada ne koristite kabel za nošenje, povlačenje ili isključivanje električnog alata. Držite kabel dalje od topline, ulja, oštrih rubova ili pokretnih dijelova.
