Personal Safety
1)
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 m o m e n t o f i n a t t e n t i o n w h i l e
operating power tools may result in
personal injury.
2)
Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection.
S a f e t y e q u i p m e n t s u c h a s d u s t
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
3)
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off position
before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger
on the switch or plugging in the power
tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
4)
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.
5)
Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
6)
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from
moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
7)
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
1)
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.
2)
Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and off.
A n y p o w e r t o o l t h a t c a n n o t b e
controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
3)
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.
4)
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.
5)
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.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
6)
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
7)
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
different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
