GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious in
-
jury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a)
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Dirty or cluttered areas
invite accidents.
b)
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or 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.
Unmodified 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 exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f)
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid
-
able, use a residual current device (RCD) protected sup
-
ply.
Use of an RCD 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 influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while op
-
erating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b)
Wear protective clothing. Always wear protective gog
-
gles.
Using personal protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, safety helmets or hearing pro
-
tectors will reduce personal injuries.
c)
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the «off»-position before connecting to power source,
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.
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 dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a)
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct po wer 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 mak
-
ing 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 bind
-
ing 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.
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, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
