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.
1.2 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 breakage.
f)
The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of
your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
g)
The arbour size of wheels and flanges must properly fit the spindle of the power tool.
Wheels
and flanges with arbour holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of
balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
