1. Enstriksyon Sekirite Enpòtan
Always observe basic safety precautions when using electric tools to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury. Read all instructions before operating this tool.
- Sekirite Zòn Travay: Kenbe zòn travay la pwòp epi byen limen. Zòn ki dezòdone oswa ki fè nwa yo ka lakòz aksidan. Pa sèvi ak zouti elektrik nan atmosfè eksplozif, tankou lè gen likid, gaz oswa pousyè ki ka pran dife.
- Sekirite elektrik: Priz zouti elektrik yo dwe koresponn ak priz la. Pa janm modifye priz la nan okenn fason. Pa maltrete kòd la. Pa janm sèvi ak kòd la pou pote, rale, oswa debranche zouti elektrik la. Kenbe kòd la lwen chalè, lwil, bor byen file, oswa pati k ap deplase.
- Sekirite Pèsonèl: Always wear eye protection. Use hearing protection when operating for extended periods. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair and clothing away from moving parts.
- Itilizasyon zouti ak swen: Pa fòse zouti elektrik la. Sèvi ak zouti elektrik ki kòrèk la pou aplikasyon w lan. Dekonekte ploge a nan sous kouran an anvan ou fè nenpòt ajisteman, chanje akseswa, oswa sere zouti elektrik yo.
- Sèvis: Fè reparasyon zouti elektrik ou a pa yon moun ki kalifye ki sèvi ak pati ranplasman ki idantik sèlman. Sa a pral asire ke sekirite zouti elektrik la konsève.
