7. Use the right tool.
Do not force small
tools to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Do
not use tools for purposes not intended; for
example do not use circular saws to cut tree
limbs or logs.
8. Dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery which may get caught in moving
parts. Non-skid footwear is recommended
when working outdoors. If you have long hair,
tie it back and wear protective hair covering.
9. Use protective equipment.
Use safety
glasses. Use face or dust mask if cutting
operations create dust.
10. Connect dust extraction equipment.
If the machines have a connection for dust
extraction equipment, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
11. Do not damage the cable.
Never pull the
power cable to disconnect the machine. Keep
the cable away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
12. Secure workpiece.
Where possible, use
clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece. It’s
much safer than using your hands.
13. Don’t over reach.
Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
14. Maintain tools in good working
condition.
Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean for better performance and optimum
safety. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Inspect power
cables regularly and, if damaged, have them
replaced by an authorised service centre.
Inspect extension cables regularly and replace
immediately if damaged. Keep handles dry,
clean and free from oil and grease at all times.
15. Disconnect tools.
Disconnect tools from
the power supply when not in use, before any
maintenance operation and when changing
accessories such as blades, bits, cutters, etc.
16. Remove adjusting keys and spanners.
Get into the habit of checking that adjusting
keys and spanners have been removed from
the machine before turning it on.
17. Avoid unintentional starting.
Ensure switch
is in “off” position before plugging in the machine.
18. Use proper extension leads.
When the
tool is used outdoors, use only extension leads
intended for outdoor use and labelled as such.
19. Stay alert.
Concentrate on what you
are doing, use common sense and do not
operate the tool when you are tired.
20. Check that no part is damaged.
Before
using a tool, make sure that it is in good
working order. Check the alignment and
condition of moving parts, mounting and any
other aspect that may affect its operation. A
guard or other part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by an authorised
service centre unless otherwise indicated in
this instruction manual. Do not use the tool if
the switch does not turn on and off.
21. Warning.
The use of any accessory or
attachment other than one recommended in
this instruction manual may present a risk of
personal injury.
22. Have your tool repaired at an authorised
service centre.
This electric tool complies
with current safety rules. Repairs should only
be carried out by an authorised service centre
using original spare parts. Failing this, the user
could expose themselves to considerable
danger.
