ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•
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.
•
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.
•
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
•
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.
•
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.
•
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground-fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.
Use of a GFCI 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 that 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.
•
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 that these are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices 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 more safely 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, tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions,
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.
SERVICE
•
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR SANDER
•
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory
contacting a “live” wire may expose metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
•
A suitable breathing respirator must be worn while sanding lead paint,
some woods and
metal to avoid breathing the harmful/toxic dust or air.
•
Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask when sanding,
especially sanding over-
head.
•
The machine is not suitable for wet sanding.
•
Secure the workpiece.
A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vise is held more
securely than by hand.
•
Do not leave the tool running.
Operate the tool only when hand-held.
