3) General Power Tool Safety warnings
[Personal Safety].
a) 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 or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
b) use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective
equipment such as dust masks, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) 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 energising the power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d) remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A
wrench or key left attached to a rotating part
of a power tool may result in personal injury.
e) do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure that these are
connected and properly used.
Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) General Power Tool Safety warnings
[Power tool use and care].
a) 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 a rate for which it was designed.
b) do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on or off.
Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) disconnect the power tool from the
power source and/or battery pack from
the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools.
Such preventative
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools.
Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of moving 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.
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 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.
