General safety rules for electric tools
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 of under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
B. Use safety equipment. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
C. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in 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 balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
F. 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 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 these devices can reduce
dust-related hazards.
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 form the power source and/or 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 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. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools 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 and accessories in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power tool, 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. Caution: Use the auxiliary
handles provided in this tool. Lost control of the tool may cause personal injuries.
