3) Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or under the in
fl uence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appro-
priate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools
with your
fi nger on the switch or plugging in 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 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 jew-
ellery. 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 ex-
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used. Use of these devices can
reduce dust related hazards.
h. Use clamps or a vice to hold work. It’s safer than us-
ing your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
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 de-
signed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that can not be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source 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. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tools opera-
tion. 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 main-
tained 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 and in the manner
intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from intended could result in hazardous situation.
5) Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a quali fi ed repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
insure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
