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 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 suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock .
f)
If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD 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 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 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 condi-
tions will reduce personal injuries .
c)
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure 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 energising
power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents .
d)
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 .
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
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts .
g)
If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used.
Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards .
4 . Power tool use and care
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 at the rate for which it was designed .
b)
Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that can-
not be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired .
c)
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 .
d)
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children. 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 .
e)
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 acci-
dents 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 and 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 .
