PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use the tool while
tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication.
A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothing,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the
power switch is OFF before plugging in.
Carrying tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in tools that have the
switch ON invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before turning the tool ON.
A wrench or
key that is left attached to a rotating or
moving part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
Proper footing
and balance enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat and/or hearing
protection must be used in appropriate
conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
Use clamps or another practical method
to secure and support the workpiece on
a stable platform.
Holding the work by
hand or against your body is unstable,
unsafe, and may lead to loss of control.
Do not force the tool. Use the correct
tool for your application.
The correct tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it is designed.
Do not use the tool if the power switch
does not turn it ON or OFF.
Any tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories or storing the
tool.
Such preventative safety measures
reduce the risk of the tool starting
accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons.
Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
