1. Keep work areas clean.
Cluttered work areas and benches can cause accidents.
2. Consider work area environment.
Do not expose your tool to high humidity
or rain. Do not use your tool in damp or wet conditions. Keep the work area
well lit. Do not use your tool where there is a risk of causing fire or explosion,
e.g. in the presence of flammable liquids and gases.
3. Keep children away.
Do not allow children, visitors or animals to come near
the work area or to touch the tool or power lead.
4. Dress appropriately.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as these can be
caught in moving parts. Preferably wear non-slip footwear when working
outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to keep long hair out of the way.
5. Head protection.
Always use safety glasses. Use a face or dust mask whenever
the operations may produce dust or flying particles. Wear ear protection
whenever the sound level seems uncomfortable.
6. Guard against electric shock.
Prevent body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators). Electric safety can be
further improved by using a high sensitivity (30 mA / 30 mS) residual current
device (RCD).
7. Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
8. Stay alert.
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the
tool when you are tired.
9. Secure work piece.
Use clamps or a vice to hold the work piece; it is safer as it
frees both hands to operate the tool.
10. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.
Always check that adjusting keys and
wrenches are removed from the tool before operating the tool.
11. Extension leads.
Before use inspect the extension leads and replace if
damaged. When using the tool outdoors, only use extension leads intended for
outdoor use and marked accordingly.
12. Use appropriate tool.
The intended use is described in this instruction
manual. Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job of a heavy duty
tool. The tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
intended. Do not force the tool.
Warning!
The use of any accessory or attachment, or performance of any
operation with this tool other than those recommended in this instruction
manual may present a risk of personal injury.
