SAFETY W
ARNINGS
•
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.
PERSONAL SAFETY
•
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.
•
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.
•
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 energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
•
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.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
•
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.
•
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.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
Maintain power tools. 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.
•
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
•
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 performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in
a hazardous situation.
