3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a)
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating electrical equipment. Do not use electrical equipment while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating electrical equipment 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 plugging in. Carrying electrical equipment with your finger on the switch or
plugging in electrical equipment that have the switch on invites accidents.
d)
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the electrical equipment on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the electrical
equipment may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the electrical equipment in unexpected situations.
f)
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.
g)
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.
4) ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT USE AND CARE
a)
Do not force the electrical equipment. Use the correct electrical equipment for your application. The correct electrical equipment will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b)
Do not use the electrical equipment if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any electrical equipment that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c)
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the electrical equipment before making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing electrical equipment. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the electrical equipment accidentally.
d)
Store idle electrical equipment out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the electrical equipment or these instructions to
operate the electrical equipment. Electrical equipment is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e)
Maintain electrical equipment. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the electrical
equipment operation. If damaged, have the electrical equipment repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained electrical equipment.
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 electrical equipment, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of
electrical equipment, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the electrical equipment for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) SERVICE
a)
Have your electrical equipment serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the electrical
equipment is maintained.
