1. GENERAL SAFETY RULES
SAVE 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
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 tools plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tool. 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
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 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 a 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 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 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 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.
d.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
