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 the
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 that
is suitable for outdoor use.
The use
of a cord that is suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a power
supply that is protected by a ground-
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
The
use of a GFCI 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 tool while
tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication.
A moment of
inattention while operating a power tool may
result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective
equipment such as a dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or
hearing protection, used for appropriate
conditions, will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting.
Verify
that the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to the power
source and/or battery pack, and
before picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch or connecting a power tool
that has the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting keys or
wrenches 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 jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from
moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or
long hair can get caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, verify that these
are connected and properly used.
The
use of these devices can reduce dust-
related hazards.
4) Use and care of power tools
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 more safely when used at the rate at
which it was designed to work.
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 disconnect the battery
pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing the power tool.
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
who are 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, broken 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind, and are easier to control.
g) 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
. Using the power tool for
operations different from those it is intended
for could result in a hazardous situation.
