Read all these instructions before attempting to operate

General Safety Rules
1. Keep work area clear.
Cluttered areas and benches
invite injuries.
2. Consider work area environment.
Do not expose
the tool to rain. Do not use the tool in damp or wet
conditions. Keep the work area well lit (250 - 300 Lux).
Do not use the tool where there is a risk of causing
fi re or explosion, e.g., in the presence of fl ammable
liquids and gases.
3. Guard against electric shock.
Avoid body contact
with earthed surfaces (e.g., pipes, radiators, cookers
and refrigerators). When using the tool under extreme
conditions (e.g., high humidity, when metal swarf is
being produced, etc.), electric safety can be improved
by inserting an isolating transformer or a (FI) earth-
leakage circuit-breaker.
4. Keep other persons away.
Do not let persons,
especially children, not involved in the work, touch
the tool or the extension cord and keep them away
from the work area.
5. Store
idle
tools.
When not in use, tools must be
stored in a dry place and locked up securely, out of
reach of children.
6. Do not force the tool.
It will do the job better and
safer at the rate to which it was intended.
7. Use the right tool.
Do not force small tools to do the
job of a heavy duty tool. Do not use tools for purposes
not intended; for example do not use circular saws
to cut tree limbs or logs.
8. Dress
properly.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
lery, as these can be caught in moving parts. Non-skid
footwear is recommended when working outdoors.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
9. Use protective equipment.
Always use safety
glasses. Use a face or dust mask if working opera-
tions create dust or fl ying particles. If these particles
might be considerably hot, also wear a heat-resistant
apron. Wear ear protection at all times. Wear a safety
helmet at all times.
10. Connect dust extraction equipment.
If devices are
provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collecting equipment, ensure these are connected
and properly used.
11. Do not abuse the cord. Never yank the cord to
disconnect it from the socket.
Keep the cord away
from heat, oil and sharp edges. Never carry the tool
by its cord.
12. Secure work.
Where possible use clamps or a vice
to hold the work. It is safer than using your hand and
it frees both hands to operate the tool.
13. Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
14. Maintain tools with care.
Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean for better and safer performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
Inspect tools periodically and if damaged have them
repaired by an authorized service facility. Keep han-
dles and switches dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
15. Disconnect
tools.
When not in use, before servicing
and when changing accessories such as blades,
bits and cutters, disconnect tools from the power
supply.
