GENERAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read all instructions.
Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the
warnings listed below refers to your mains operated
(corded) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1) WORK AREA
a)
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and
dark areas invite accidents.
b)
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, 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
refrigerators.
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 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 operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
b)
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c)
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off position before plugging in.
Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in
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 these
devices 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 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 tools
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 and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, 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) CAREFUL HANDLING OF BATTERY TOOLS AND
THEIR USE
a)
Check if the on/off switch is in the off position
before inserting the battery in the tool. I
nserting the
battery into the tool that is switched on can cause an
accident.
b)
Charge the battery only in the chargers defined by
the manufacturer.
If you charge other battery types in
a charger that is adequate only for charging certain
battery types, you can cause a fire.
