Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
h) Only allow trained personnel to use the power tool.
Apprentices may only operate the power tool when they are
aged over 16, when this is necessary for their training and
when they are supervised by a trained operative.
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 correctly.
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 mak-
ing 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 carefully. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage or damage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the power
tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired by a qualified expert 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) Secure the workpiece.
Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece. This is safer
than holding it with your hand, and also it frees both hands
to operate the equipment.
h) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in
accordance with these instructions and in the manner
specified 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. All unautho-
rized modifications to the power tool are prohibited for
safety reasons.
