3.
PERSONAL SAFETY
a)
Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b)
Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection with side shields and ear
protection.
Protective equipment such as dust masks,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce chance
of personal injury.
c)
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before connecting
to the power source and/or battery charger,
picking up, or carrying the tool.
Do not power
tools with your finger on the switch or energizing
power tools that have the switch on because such
action invites accidents.
d)
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
e)
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing,
accessories or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, accessories, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
4. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a)
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application.
The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
b)
Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c)
Ensure power switch is in off position and
disconnected from the charger power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.
Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
d)
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children, and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
