SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal
injury.
WORK AREA
■
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
■
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools may create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
■
Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
■
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
■
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
■
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry
the tool or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
■
Use outdoor extension leads.
When tool is use
d
outdoors, use only extension cords intended for outdoor
use.
PERSONAL SAFETY
■
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use tool while tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
■
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes,
jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts or
drawn into air vents.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off
before plugging in.
Carrying tools with your finger
on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
■
■
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning
the tool on.
A wrench or a key that is left attached to a
rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
■
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations. Do not use
on a ladder or unstable support.
■
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
■
Connect dust extraction equipment. If devices are
provided for the connected extraction and collection
facilities ensure these are connected and properly
used.
TOOL USE AND CARE
■
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
■
Use the right tool. Do not force small tools or
attachments to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Do not
use tool for purposes not intended.
■
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
■
Disconnect the plug from power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories
or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
■
Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
■
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean.
Properly maintained tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
■
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may
affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained tools.
