General Safety Warnings
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in serious injury.
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.
d)
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use
of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
e)
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not plat with the appliance.
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.
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 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 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 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 these are connected and
properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
