1)Work area safety
a) Keep the 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)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 the appropriate conditions will reduce the risk of personal
injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to a 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.
. CAUTION: The use of accessories or attachments other than those recommended
in this manual can lead to injury and may invalidate your warranty. Use only
original replacement parts.
. Hold the power tool by its insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an
operation where the drill bit or fastener may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
. Do not allow the tool to run unattended. Switch the tool off and do not
put it down until it has come to a complete stop.
. Secure the workpiece. Use a vice or clamping device to secure the workpiece.
This is much safer than holding the workpiece by hand and allows you to operate
the drill with both hands.
. Protection from dust: Wear a dust mask when undertaking jobs that may produce
dust.
. Damaged parts or safety mechanisms must be replaced or repaired by an
authorised workshop, unless stated differently in the operating instructions.
