Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work Area Safety
a)
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents
b)
Do not operate power 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 power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control
Electrical Safety
a)
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock
b)
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded
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
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 conditions 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,
jewellery 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
Power Tool Use & 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
WARNING:
When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended
that this tool is ALWAYS supplied via Residual Current Device (RCD) with
a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
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
Impact Driver Safety
WARNING:
It is imperative to follow all national safety regulations concerning
installation, operation and maintenance.
a)
ALWAYS hold the tool by the insulated gripping surfaces.
Operations where the tool, fitted accessories or fasteners may contact
hidden ‘live’ wiring will make exposed metal parts of the tool ‘live’ and
cause an electric shock hazard to the operator.
b)
DO NOT allow anyone under the age of 18 years to use this tool,
and ensure that operators are qualified and familiar with the
operating and safety instructions.
c)
ALWAYS grip the tool firmly, DO NOT overreach, and ensure you
won’t lose control.
Keep secure footing whilst using an impact driver.
d)
Battery chargers are for indoors use only.
Ensure that the power
supply and charger are protected against moisture at all times.
e)
When using the impact driver, use safety equipment including
safety glasses or shield, ear defenders, and protective clothing
including safety gloves.
If the work produces dust wear respiratory
protection suitable for the work being undertaken. A minimum rating of
FFP2 is recommended. If operating the tool causes discomfort in any
way, stop immediately and review your method of use.
f)
Ensure that the lighting is adequate.
g)
Ensure that the impact driver bit or accessory is securely fixed in
the bit holder.
Insecure accessories can be ejected from the machine
causing a hazard.
h)
DO NOT exert pressure on to the tool.
To do so would shorten its
service life.
i)
If you are interrupted when operating an impact driver, complete
the process and switch off before looking up.
j)
Where possible, use clamps or a vice to hold your work.
k)
Examine the bit holder regularly for signs of wear or damage.
Have
damaged parts repaired by a qualified service centre.
l)
ALWAYS wait until the impact driver has come to a complete stop
before putting it down.
m)
Periodically check all nuts, bolts and other fixings and tighten
where necessary.
n)
Only use bits and accessories, specifically designed for use with
impact drivers.
Conventional bits and accessories may shear off
during use, or be otherwise damaged, potentially ejecting dangerous
projectiles.
