GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
◾
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
◾
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
◾
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
PERSONAL SAFETY
◾
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 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 a dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
◾
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
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.
◾
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
jewellery. 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 these
are connected and properly used.
Use of dust
devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
◾
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles.
A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
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 safer 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.
◾
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 and accessories. 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.
