d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for out-
door use.
Use of a cord suitable for out-
door use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. Always use tool in conjunction with a
residual circuit breaker device.
The use
of a residual circuit breaker device
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operat-
ing a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medica-
tion.
A moment of inattention while oper-
ating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before plug-
ging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger
on the switch or plugging in power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in per-
sonal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
This enables
better control of the power tool in unex-
pected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used.
The use of these
pieces of equipment reduce hazards
caused by dust.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-
rect 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. Disconnect the plug from the 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.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use.
Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed.
Use of the power tool for
operations different from intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5. Service
a. Please use a qualified expert who uses
original replacement parts to repair
your power tool.
This will ensure proper
functioning of the power tool.
