•
Avoid body contact with earthed or gro
unded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Do not abuse the cord.
Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outside, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply.
While the tool may appear to work,
the electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and rate a hazard to the operator.
PERSONAL SAFETY
•
Stay alert,
watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
• 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. Air vents
may cover moving parts and should be avoided.
• Avoid accidental starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying
power tool with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or
key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach.
Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. Loss of balance can cause
an injury in an unexpected situation
.
• If devices are provided for connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust related
hazards.
• Do not use a ladder or unstable support.
Stable footing on a solid surface enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Keep tool handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles cannot safely
control the tool.
TOOL USE AND CARE
•
Secure the workpiece.
Use clamp or other practical way to hold the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
• Do not force the power tool.
The tool will perform the job better and safer at the feed rate for
which it is designed. Forcing the tool could possibly damage the tool and may result in personal
injury.
• Use the correct power tool for the job.
Don’t force the tool or attachment to do a job for
which it is not designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired or replaced by an authorized service center
.
• Turn power tool off, and disconnect the plug
from the power source and/or battery pack from
the power tool before making any adjustments, changing the accessories, or storing the tools
.
