GENERAL SAFETY
Warning!
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) Work area
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate petrol tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a petrol tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a petrol 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.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the tool on.
A wrench
or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the petrol tool may result in
personal injury.
d) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This
enables better control of the petrol tool in unexpected situations.
e) 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.
f)
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.
3) Petrol tool use and care
a) Do not force the petrol tool. Use the correct petrol tool for your
application.
The correct petrol tool will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the petrol tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any
petrol tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c) Turn tool off completely before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing petrol tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the petrol tool accidentally.
