THESE

 

INSTRUCTIONS

1)

 

Work

 

area

a)

 

Keep

 

work

 

area

 

clean

 

and

 

well

 

lit.

 

Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.

b)

 

Do

 

not

 

operate

 

power

 

tools

 

in

 

explosive

 

atmospheres,

 

such

 

as

 

in

 

the

 

presence

 

of

 

fl 

ammable

 

liquids,

 

gases

 

or

 

dust.

 

Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust 

of fumes.

c)

 

Keep

 

children

 

and

 

bystanders

 

away

 

while

 

operating

 

a

 

power

 

tool.

 

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2)

 

Electrical

 

safety

a)

 

Power

 

tool

 

plugs

 

must

 

match

 

the

 

outlet.

 

Never

 

modify

 

the

 

plug

 

in

 

any

 

way.

 

Do

 

not

 

use

 

any

 

adapter

 

plugs

 

with

 

earthed

 

(grounded)

 

power

 

tools.

 Unmodi

fi

 ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce 

risk of electric shock.

b)

 

Avoid

 

body

 

contact

 

with

 

earthed

 

or

 

grounded

 

surfaces

 

such

 

as

 

pipes,

 

radiators,

 

ranges

 

and

 

refrigerators.

  There is an increased risk of electric shock if your 

body is earthed or grounded.

c)

 

Do

 

not

 

expose

 

power

 

tools

 

to

 

rain

 

or

 

wet

 

conditions.

  Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of 

electric shock.

d)

 

Do

 

not

 

abuse

 

the

 

cord.

 

Never

 

use

 

the

 

cord

 

for

 

carrying,

 

pulling

 

or

 

unplugging

 

the

 

power

 

tool.

 

Keep

 

cord

 

away

 

from

 

heat,

 

oil,

 

sharp

 

edges

 

or

 

moving

 

parts.

  Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of 

electric shock.

e)

 

When

 

operating

 

a

 

power

 

tool

 

outdoors,

 

use

 

an

 

extension

 

cord

 

suitable

 

for

 

outdoor

 

use.

  Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the 

risk of electric shock.

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

 

in

fl 

uence

 

of

 

drugs,

 

alcohol

 

or

 

medication.

 

 

A moment of inattention while operating power tools 

may result in serious personal injury.

b)

 

Use

 

safety

 

equipment.

 

Always

 

wear

 

eye

 

protection.

  Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid 

safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for 

appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c)

 

Avoid

 

accidental

 

starting.

 

Ensure

 

the

 

switch

 

is

 

in

 

the

 

o

ff

  

position

 

before

 

plugging

 

in.

 

Carrying power tools with your 

fi

 nger on the switch or 

plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites 

accidents.

d)

 

Remove

 

any

 

adjusting

 

key

 

or

 

wrench

 

before

 

turning

 

the

 

power

 

tool

 

on.

 

 

A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the 

power tool may result in personal injury.

e)

 

Do

 

not

 

overreach.

 

Keep

 

proper

 

footing

 

and

 

balance

 

at

 

all

 

times.

  This enables better control of the power tool in 

unexpected situations.

f)

 

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.

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.

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

 

o

ff

 

.

  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

 

a

ff

 

ect

 

the

 

power

 

tools’

 

operation.

 

If

 

damaged,

 

have

 

the

 

power

 

tool

 

repaired

 

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)

 

Use

 

the

 

power

 

tool,

 

accessories

 

and

 

tool

 

bits

 

etc.,

 

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 di

ff

 erent  from 

intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5)

 

Battery

 

tool

 

use

 

and

 

care

a)

 

Ensure

 

the

 

switch

 

is

 

in

 

the

 

o

ff

  

position

 

before

 

inserting

 

battery

 

pack.

 

Inserting the battery pack into power tools that have 

the switch on invites accidents.

b)

 

Recharge

 

only

 

with

 

the

 

charger

 

speci

fi 

ed

 

by

 

the

 

manufacturer.

 

A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack 

may create a risk of 

fi

 re when used with another 

battery pack.

c)

 

Use

 

power

 

tools

 

only

 

with

 

speci

fi 

cally

 

designated

 

battery

 

packs.

  Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of 

injury and 

fi

 re.
