d) Do not abuse the line. Never use the
line for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep the line away from heat,
oil and sharp edges or moving parts. Dam-
aged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension line suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a line suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert. Watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not operate tool when you
are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. 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
and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing 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.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application, The correct
power tools 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 can not be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source before marking 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 unfamil-
iar 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 mis-
alignment 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, accessories and
tool bits etc. ,in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended for
particular type of power tool, taking into ac-
count the working conditions and the work
to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
