safety instructions
2) Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. never modify the plug in any
way. do not use any adapter plugs which earthed (grounded) power tools.
unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radi-
ators, 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 unplug-
ging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or mo-
ving 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. Always use tool in conjunction with a residual circuit brea-
ker device.
3) Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when opera-
ting 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 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 off position before
plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plug-
ging 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 ena-
bles 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 collec-
tion facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. use of these
devices can reduce dust related hazards.
h. use clamps or a vice to hold work. It’s safer than using your hand and it
frees both hands to operate tool.
