PERSONAL SAFETY
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use the tool while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
•
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
•
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure that the switch is in the OFF-
position before connecting to a power source and/or battery, 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.
•
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.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
•
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.
•
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure that these are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
•
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and more safely at
the rate for which it was designed.
•
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.
•
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery 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.
