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) 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 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 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
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) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer.
A charger that
is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.
Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery, avoid
contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
•
Wear ear protectors with impact drills.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss
.
• Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal
injury.
•
Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a
"live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
•
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the work piece to a
stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
•
When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable surface where it will not cause
a tripping or falling hazard.
Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright but
may be easily knocked over
.
•
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from air vents.
Air vents often cover
moving parts in which these items can be caught.
•
Hold tool firmly with two hands.
Use auxiliary handle if provided. If auxiliary handle
not provided, grip tool at bottom of battery pack. Loss of control can cause personal
injury.
