GENERAL (cont.)
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. Connect dust extraction equipment.
If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure that these are
connected and properly used.
11. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.
Always check that adjusting keys and
wrenches are removed from the tool before operating the tool.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. Check for damaged parts.
Before use carefully check the tool and power lead
for damage. Check for misalignment and seizure of moving parts, breakage of
parts, damage to guards and switches and any other conditions that may affect
its operation. Ensure that the tool will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Do not use the tool if any parts are damaged or defective.
Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Have any
damaged or defective parts repaired or replaced by an electrician or power
tool repairer. Never attempt any repairs yourself.
15. Unplug the tool.
Unplug the tool when it is not in use, before changing any
parts of the tool, accessories or attachments and before servicing.
16. Avoid unintentional starting.
Do not carry the tool with a finger on the on/off
switch. Make sure the tool is switched off when plugged in.
