Safety Rules for Nibblers
Always unplug the tool from the power
source before changing accessories or
making any adjustments.
Accidental start
up may occur causing serious personal
injury.
Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform.
Holding the work by hand
or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
Always wear safety goggles or eye
protection when using this tool. Wear
leather gloves and safety shoes.
Leather
gloves and safety shoes will protect hands
from sharp metal edges and feet from sharp
metal pieces.
Secure the material being cut. Never hold
small pieces in your hand or across your
legs. Do not touch punch and die during
use of the nibbler.
Contact with the punch
and die may cause a laceration or crush injury.
Periodically check tool fasteners for
looseness and tighten as required.
The
vibration of the nibbler may cause fasteners to
occasionally loosen.
Do not cut material greater than the rated
capacity of the nibbler.
Cutting material
thicker than the capacity will cause damage to
punch and die set.
Do not use dull or damaged punch and
dies or accessories not intended for a
nibbler. Replace worn punches and dies.
Dull or damaged bits have a greater tendency
to bind in the workpiece.
When removing the punch/die set from the
tool avoid contact with skin and use proper
protective gloves when grasping the bit or
accessory.
Accessories may be hot after
prolonged use.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.
Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
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.
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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
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.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
