Personal Safety
Be careful, stay alert and watch what you are doing when operating a power tool.
Concentrate on your work. 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. Do not eat, drink
and smoke while operating a power tool.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Use protective equipment corresponding to the type
of work you are doing. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used in accordance with the working conditions will reduce the risk of personal injury.
Prevent unintentional starting. Do not carry the power tool while it is energised or with your finger on the switch or
trigger. Ensure the switch or trigger is in the “off” position before connecting to power source. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the swich or energising power tools that have the switch on may result in serious injuries.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. An adjusting wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not overreach. Never overestimate your own capabilities. Never use
power tools while you are tired.
Dress properly. Wear work clothes. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, gloves and other
part of your body away from moving or hot parts of the power tool. Connect the equipment to dust exhaustion. If the
tools are provided for the connection of dust collection or exhaustion devices, ensure these are properly connected and
used. Use of such devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
Fix the work-piece tightly. Use a cabinet clamp or a cramp to fix the work-piece you are about to machine.
Never use power tools if you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs, medication or other narcotic or addictive
substances.
This equipment is not intended for use by persons (including children) with limited physical, sensual or mental
capacities or lack of experience or knowledge unless they are supervised or instructed about the use of the equipment
by a person responsible for their safety. Children must be supervised to make sure they are not playing with the
equipment.
Power Tool Use and Maintenance
Always disconnect the power tool from the mains in case of any problem during the work, before cleaning the power
tool or its maintenance, during each transportation and after the completion of the work! Never operate a power tool if
it is damaged in any way.
Immediately stop working if the power tool generates abnormal noise or smell.
Do not overload the power tool. The power tool will operate better and safer if it is used at the rate for which it was
designed. Use correct power tool which is intended for the given activity. The correct power tool will do the job it was
designed for better and safer.
Do not use the power tool if it cannot be safely turned on and off using the control switch.
Use of such power tool is dangerous. Defective switches must be repaired by a certified service provider.
Disconnect the tool from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories or maintenance.
Such preventive safety measure prevents the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and unauthorised persons. Power tools can be dangerous in the
hands of untrained users. Store the power tools in a dry and safe place. Keep the power tool in good condition. Check
the adjustment of moving parts and their mobility. Check for any damage to the protective guards or other parts which
could affect safe operation of the power tool. If damaged, have the power tool properly repaired before further use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
