GENERAL SAFETY RULES
(continued)
Personal Safety
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use 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 jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure 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 switches before turning the tool on or plugging it in. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating 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. Always wear hearing protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Tool Use and Care
•
Use machine vise to secure and support the workpiece. Drop piece or long material profiles must be supported.
Holding the work by hand is unstable and may lead to loss of control. Always use machine vise.
• Do not force 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 tool if 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 preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool 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 tools, with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools
operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable
for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.
SERVICE
•
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section
of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric
shock or injury.
