POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
7. 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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
6.
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.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating
a power tool.
Do not use the tool while
tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
2.
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.
3.
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 energizing power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
4.
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.
5.
Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
6.
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 be caught in moving parts.
7.
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.
