(2.4) 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.
(2.5) 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 tools
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.
