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.
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 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 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 unauthorized
modifications to the power tool are
prohibited for safety reasons.
5.) Service
a) 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.
b) Comply with maintenance instructions
and instructions on tool replacements.
c) Check mains lead of power tool regularly
and have it replaced by a qualified expert
in case of damage.
