•
Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust
masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
•
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 a 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.
•
Keep handles dry, clean and free from
oil and grease.
Slippery handles do not
allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
•
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.
Power tool use and care
•
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.
•
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 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. 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
