1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury
.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1)
Work area safety
a)
Keep work area clean and well lit
.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b)
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c)
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2)
Electrical safety
a)
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and
matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b)
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c)
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d)
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged
or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e)
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f)
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
NOTE the term “residual current device (RCD)” may be replaced by the term “ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)” or
“earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)”.
3)
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 mask, 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 connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energizing 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 jeweler. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jeweler 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
.
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 the battery pack 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
