12.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
13.
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.
14.
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.
15.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
16.
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.
17.
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.
Power tool use and care
18.
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.
19.
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.
20.
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.
21.
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.
22.
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.
23.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
24.
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.
Service
25.
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.
26.
Follow instruction for lubricating and changing
accessories.
27.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
