To reduce the risk of electric shock, the manufacturer recommends
the use of a residual current of 30mA or less at all times.
3). PERSONAL SAFETY
• 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.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection will reduce
personal injures.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the “off”
position before connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
• 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.
• 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
• Do not force the power tools. 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.
• 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.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
• 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.
• Maintain power tools with care. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
• 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 different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5). Servicing
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tools is maintained.
Additional Safety Instructions for Spray Guns
• Spray materials emerge from nozzle tips under high pressure.
Attention!
Danger of injection - Never point the spray stream
towards human beings or animals.
• The spray gun is to be used only for paints and solvents with
a 21° C flashpoint or higher (See information on the material
tin. Hazard class A II and A III permitted).
• The spray gun is not to be used in work places covered by
Ex-protection regulations.
• To avoid the hazard of explosion when spraying, provide for
effective natural or artificial ventilation.
• No sources of ignition are to be in the immediate area when
spraying, e.g. open flame, cigarettes, sparks, glowing wires
and hot surfaces.
• Before carrying out any work on the spray gun, unplug the
lead from the power socket.
• Do not use spray guns to spray flammable liquids.
• The spray guns are not to be cleaned with flammable solvents
which have a flashpoint under 21°C.
• Take precautionary measures against potential hazards from
the spray liquid and follow any instructions given on containers
or laid down by the manufacturer of the liquid.
• Do not spray any liquid of unknown hazard potential.
• Wear a breathing mask and ear protection.
