GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety
warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions
for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cord-
less) power tool.
1 WORK AREA SAFETY
a)
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
b)
Do not operate power tools in ex-
plosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liq-
uids, gases or dust.
Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
c)
Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power
tool.
Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
2 ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a)
Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools.
Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
b)
Avoid body contact with earthed
or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and re-
frigerators.
There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c)
Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions.
Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d)
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
or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
e)
When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use.
Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use re-
duces the risk of electric shock.
f)
If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable,
use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.
Use of
an RCD 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 use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A
moment of inattention while operat-
ing power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b)
Use personal protective equip-
ment. Always wear eye protec-
tion.
Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will re-
duce personal injuries.
c)
Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-po-
sition before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, pick-
ing up or carrying the tool.
Carry-
ing power tools with your finger on
the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites ac-
cidents.
d)
Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the power
tool on.
A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the pow-
er 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 con-
trolled 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, chang-
ing accessories, or storing power
tools.
Such preventive safety meas-
ures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d)
Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not al-
low 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 mov-
ing parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may af-
fect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool re-
paired 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 dif-
ferent from those intended could re-
sult in a hazardous situation.
5 BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a)
Recharge only with the charger
specified by the manufacturer.
A
charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of
fire when used with another battery
pack.
b)
Use power tools only with specif-
ically designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
c)
When battery pack is not in use,
keep it away from other metal
objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small
