General power tool safety warnings
General power tool safety warnings
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 operat-
ing a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medica-
tion.
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 conditions will reduce personal in-
juries.
c)
Avoid accidental starting. Verify the po-
wer tool is switched off before connec-
ting it to the mains and / or connecting
the battery, picking it up, or carrying it.
Accidents can happen if you carry the device
with your finger on the ON / OFF switch or with
the device switched on.
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 foot-
ing 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 mov-
ing parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
g)
If devices are provided for the connec-
tion 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 safer 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 cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c)
Pull the mains plug out of the socket
and / or remove the rechargeable bat-
tery before you make any adjustments
to the device, change accessories or
when the device is put away.
This pre-
caution is intended to prevent the device from
unintentionally starting.
d)
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 un-
trained users.
e)
Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other con-
dition 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.
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
.
5. Service

qualified repair person using only iden-
