Personal Safety
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tired or under the in-
fluence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A mo ment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
•
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro-
tection used for appropriate conditions will reduce per-
sonal injuries.
•
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 energizing power tools that have the switch
ON invites accidents.
•
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.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
elry. Keep your hair, and clothing away from mov-
ing parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
•
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.
•
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles.
A careless action can cause se-
vere injury within a fraction of a second.
Power Tool Use and Care
•
Do not force 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 is designed.
•
Do not use 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.
•
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
K-45 Drain Cleaning Machine
power tools.
Such preventive safety measures re-
duce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
•
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 tool.
Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
•
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 op er ation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
•
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
•
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into ac-
count the working conditions and the work to be
performed.
The use of the power tool for operations dif-
ferent from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
•
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Service
•
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.
