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,
jewellery 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 remove the battery pack,
if detachable, 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 children 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 and accessories.
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. SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR CUT-OFF MACHINES
1) Cut-off machine safety warnings
a) Position yourself and bystanders away from
the plane of the rotating wheel. The guard
helps to protect the operator from broken
wheel fragments and accidental contact
with wheel.
b) Use only bonded reinforced or diamond
cut-off wheels for your power tool. Just
because an accessory can be attached to
your power tool, it does not assure safe
operation.
c) The rated speed of the accessory must
be at least equal to the maximum speed
marked on the power tool. Accessories
running faster than their rated speed can
break and fly apart.
d) Wheels must be used only for
recommended applications. For example:
do not grind with the side of a cut-off
wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended
for peripheral grinding, side forces applied
to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that
are of correct diameter for your selected
wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the
wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel
