Personal Safety
1
. 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.
2.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce the risk of
injury.
3.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before connecting to the power
source and/or battery pack, picking up, or carrying
the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or power tools that have been turned on invite’s
accidents.
4.
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 increase the risk of
injury.
5.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
6.
Dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught by moving parts.
7.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure that these
are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power Tool Use and Care
1.
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 is designed.
2.
Do not use the power tool if it can’t be turned on and
off by its switch.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or before storing
the power tool.
Such preventive safety measure reduces
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4.
Store idle power tools out of reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate it.
Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users
.
5.
Maintain the power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
6
. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
7.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Battery Tool Use and Care
1.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
2.
Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
3.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns
or fire.
4.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If you accidentally
contact the battery liquid, flush it with water.
If the
battery liquid contacts the eyes, seek medical help as
soon as possible. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
