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 a 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 and clothing 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 .
h)
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 severe injury within a fraction
of a second .
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 remove the battery pack, if detachable,
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 and accessories.
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 .
h)
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.
5) 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.
Specific Safety
Multi-Tool Safety
WARNING!
• Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting
a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator
an electric shock .
• Before drilling into walls, ceilings etc, ensure that there are no concealed power cables
or pipes in the cavity.
• Contact with electric or gas lines can lead to fire, electric shock and explosions.
Penetrating a water line can result in damage to property and electric shock.
Use
appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area. Always be
extremely careful when making blind and pocket cuts where the exit point of the blade or
accessory at the other side of the material cannot be seen.
• Asbestos may be in materials and textured coatings in older properties and should be
treated with extreme caution.
If you suspect or discover asbestos consult your local health and
safety authority immediately for advice on its removal. It may require the services of a specialist
asbestos removal company.
• DO NOT work with damp or wet materials or accessories that require liquid coolants.
Liquids entering the body of the tool is an electrical hazard as well as likely to destroy the tool.
The dust produced from working with some materials can be toxic. Beech, oak, mahogany
and teak natural woods, man-made composite woods and some surface treatments including
paint with lead are toxic.
Lead based paint is common in buildings pre 1960. Always wear suitable
respiratory protection for example a respirator face mask. Ideally also use a dust extraction system
or regularly vacuum the work area to prevent the build-up of dust and do a final vacuum after the
work is completed. Most dust is a fire hazard. Overhead work surfaces have an increased safety
risk for dust .
a)
Wear protective, cut-proof gloves when changing blades and accessories.
Some blades
and accessories can be very sharp. Scraper blades sharpen as they are used. Blades and
accessories shortly after use can be very hot, allow to cool.
b)
Keep your workplace clean.
Dusts created from different materials including woods and
metals can be highly flammable. Dust from light alloys including magnesium can burn
or explode easily.
c)
DO NOT treat the work surface with fluids containing solvents.
If such fluids become warm
from scraping, toxic vapours may be produced, or surfaces may catch fire.
WARNING:
NEVER fit any blade or accessory with a maximum speed lower than the no load
speed of the power tool.
d)
ONLY change accessories and blades or perform maintenance with the tool disconnected
from its power supply, either mains connection or battery.
If the tool features a captive
battery in a charged state take extra care not to switch it on accidentally when changing
accessories or blades.
e)
ALWAYS use accessories or blades that are approved by the manufacturer or meet the
specification of your power tool, this includes being compatible in size and speed.
DO
NOT try to cut material thicker than the capacity stated in the specification.
f)
ONLY use an adapter for using different accessories or blades if the adapter is specifically
designed and approved by the manufacturer of your power tool.
g)
DO NOT modify accessories or blades so they work with power tools they were not
intended to work with or for uses that they were never designed for.
h)
DO NOT use accessories or blades that are damaged, bent, chipped, cracked, heavily
corroded or excessively worn.
Such accessories can break apart in use causing injury to the
operator. ALWAYS inspect accessories or blades before use and discard immediately if not in
good condition. NEVER use blades that are worn to a dull edge. ALWAYS use sharp blades.
i)
ALWAYS ensure all accessories or blades are securely attached to the tool before use and
the securing tool is removed prior to use.
j)
DO NOT attempt to free a jammed blade or accessory until the power tool has been
disconnected from power.
k)
Inspect the workpiece before use to make sure it is in the correct condition for the
fitted accessory or blade.
Remove all nails, staples and other embedded objects prior
to starting work.
l)
Any freely movable workpieces should be secured with a clamp or vice before
starting work.
m)
ALWAYS ensure that the lighting is adequate in the work area.
Never remove your safety
goggles or glasses to improve your view instead increase the level of lighting or move the
lighting so it specifically illuminates the work area correctly.
n)
DO NOT operate the power tool near flammable materials.
Be especially careful when
cutting wood and metal. Sparks from metal cutting are a common cause of wood dust fires.
o)
Battery chargers are for indoors use only.
Ensure that the power supply and charger are
protected against moisture at all times .
p)
NEVER start the power tool while the blade or accessory is in contact with the workpiece,
and always allow the power tool to reach its full speed before making contact with the
workpiece.
Use the variable speed control of the tool (if fitted) to start the tool at the correct
speed for the accessory or blade fitted.
