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 off position 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, 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.
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 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 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.
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.
Additional Specifi c Safety Rules
• Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool.
Loss of
control can cause personal injury.
•
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory
contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
