d)
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.
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 and clothing 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 these
are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards
.
h)
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.
4) 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 the rate for which it was designed.
b)
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.
c)
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such
preventive 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 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.
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.
h)
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Service
a)
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Mixer safety instructions
a)
Hold the tool with both hands at the intended handles.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
b)
Ensure sufficient ventilation when mixing flammable materials to avoid a hazardous atmosphere.
Developing vapour may be inhaled or be ignited by the sparks the power tool produces.
c)
Do not mix food.
Power tools and their accessories are not designed for processing food.
d)
Keep the cord away from the working area.
The cord may be entangled by the mixer basket.
e)
Ensure that the mixing container is placed in a firm and secure position.
A container that is not
properly secured may move unexpectedly.
f)
Ensure that no liquid splashes against the housing of the power tool.
Liquid that has penetrated the
power tool can cause damage and lead to electric shock.
g)
Follow the instructions and warnings for the material to be mixed.
Material to be mixed may be
harmful.
h)
If the power tool falls into the material to be mixed, unplug the tool immediately and have the
power tool checked by a qualified repair person.
Reaching into the bucket with the tool still plugged in
can lead to electric shock.
i)
Do not reach into the mixing container with your hands or insert any other objects into it while
mixing.
Contact with the mixer basket may lead to serious personal injury.
