Protective equipment such as
c)
d)
e)
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.
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.
Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions.
Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
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.
Dress properly.
Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used.
Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
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.
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 adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or stor-
ing 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 misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tools operation. If dama-
ged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
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.
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.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operat-
ing 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
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
