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 influence 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 protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c)
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the offposition 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.
d)
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.
e)
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f)
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g)
If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used.
Use of
dust collection can reduce dust related hazards.
h)
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles.
A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Power tool use and care
a)
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.
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 adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing 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 child
ren 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 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.
f)
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g)
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.
h)
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles
and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
5) Battery tool use and care
a)
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.
b)
Use power tools only with specifically design
ated battery packs.
Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c)
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 a fire.
d)
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
e)
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dama
ged or modified.
Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in
