safety warnings
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.
Clut-
tered 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.
Distrac-
tions 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, ra-
diators, 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 out-
door use.
Use of a cord suitable for out-
door use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f)
If operating a power tool in a damp lo-
cation 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 influ
-
ence 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 protec-
tion used for appropriate conditions will re-
duce personal injuries.
c)
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or bat-
tery 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 be-
fore turning the power tool on.
A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of
the power tool may result in personal in-
jury.
e)
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpect-
ed situations.
f)
Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewellery. Keep your hair, cloth-
ing 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 connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection fa-
cilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used.
Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a)
Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-
rect 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 adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or stor-
ing power tools.
