Power tool use and care.
Keep your power tool clean and well serviced at all times.
Never adjust or service any power tool before disconnecting from the mains electricity supply.
Always use the correct tool for the job.
Never force the tool to work harder than it is designed to do.
Never use your power tool with broken parts such as switches, guide fences or leg stands.
ALWAYS keep your power tools away from children.
Keep cutting tools sharp to ensure less stress on the motor.
Only have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair agent using manufacturers
recommended parts.
Before use, ensure that the power outlet you are using matches the plug on your power tool
and that the voltage of the outlet matches that of your power tool.
Only use grounded extension cords with power tools fitted with 3 pin plugs and if using
outdoors ensure any extension cord is suitable for outdoor use.
Always try to avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as radiators, cooking ranges
and any other fixed appliance with metal surfaces.
Do not expose your power tool to wet or damp conditions and NEVER use in rain.
Check regularly the power cord of your machine and any extension cord that you are using
for damage.
Do not carry or pull the machine with the power cord.
Ensure the cord is clear from hot surfaces, oil or sharp objects.
Never use your power tool whilst under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.
Tiredness can often cause accidents, stay alert.
Never use your power tool without the correct guards in place.
Always use approved eye protection and dust mask. Non slip safety shoes and hearing
protectors should be worn at all times when using your power tool.
Ensure any dust collecting device supplied with your machine is connected correctly before
use.
Ensure all loose clothing, long hair or jewelry is kept clear of the machine.
Before plugging your power tool into the power outlet ensure the power tool is in the OFF
position.
Check that wrenches or adjusting keys have been removed. Any wrench or key left attached
to a moving part can result in injury.
