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 personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection with side shields and ear
protection.
Protective equipment such as dust masks,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce the risk of
personal injuries.
c)
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to the
power source and/or battery pack, picking up
or carrying the tool.
Do not carry power tools with
your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that
have the switch on because such action invites accidents.
d)
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
e)
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing,
accessories or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts
.
Loose clothes, accessories, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
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.
Accidents may be caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f)
Use the power tool and accessories 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
by the manufacturer could result in a hazardous situation.
5. MAINTENANCE
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.
