1) 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
2) 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
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 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
4) 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
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 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.
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.
