WARNING
: Always wear ear protection where the sound level exceeds
85dB(A) and limit the time of exposure if necessary. If sound levels are
uncomfortable, even with ear protection, stop using the tool immediately
and check the ear protection is correctly fitted and provides the correct level
of sound attenuation for the level of sound produced by your tool.
WARNING
: User exposure to tool vibration can result in loss of sense of
touch, numbness, tingling and reduced ability to grip. Long term exposure
can lead to a chronic condition. If necessary, limit the length of time
exposed to vibration and use anti-vibration gloves. Do not operate the tool
with hands below a normal comfortable temperature, as vibration will have
a greater effect. Use the figures provided in the specification relating to
vibration to calculate the duration and frequency of operating the tool.
Sound and vibration levels in the specification are determined according
to EN60745 or similar international standards. The figures represent
normal use for the tool in normal working conditions. A poorly maintained,
incorrectly assembled, or misused tool, may produce increased levels of
noise and vibration.
www.osha.europa.eu
provides information on sound
and vibration levels in the workplace that may be useful to domestic users
who use tools for long periods of time.
General Safety
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury.
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.
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 r
educes the risk of electric shock
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.
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) 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.
