Electrical Safety
1.
power tool plugs must match the outlet.
never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded
power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2.
avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
3.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
4.
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.
5.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
6.
if operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault circuit
interrupter (GFci) protected supply.
Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
personal Safety
1.
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.
2.
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.
3.
prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch/trigger is in the off-position
before connecting to power source and/
or battery pack, picking up or carrying the
tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger
on the switch or energizing power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
4.
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 personal injury.
5.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6.
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.
7.
if devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used.
Use of
these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
8. Only use safety equipment that has been approved
by an appropriate standards agency. Unapproved
safety equipment may not provide adequate
protection. Eye protection must be ANSI-approved
and breathing protection must be NIOSH-approved
for the specific hazards in the work area.
power tool use and care
1.
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.
2.
Do not use the power tool if the switch/trigger
does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch/trigger is dangerous and must be repaired.
3.
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.
4.
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.
5.
Maintain power tools. check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. if damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
7.
use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.
Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
