General Safety
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
WARNING: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced, physical or mental capabilities or lack of experience or knowledge unless they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
a)
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or 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.
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 extension 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 unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
NOTE:
The term “residual current device (RCD)” may be replaced by the term “ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI)” or “earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)”.
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 personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c)
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.
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.
Power Tool Use & 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 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 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.
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.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
Service
a)
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
General & Electrical Safety (US)
• In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance
for the electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an
electric cord with an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
• The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
• Do not modify the plug provided – if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. The conductor with green insulation - with or without yellow stripes - is the
equipment-grounding conductor.
• If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
• Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not
clear, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords with 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that
accept the tool’s plug.
• Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before switching it on.
3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
4. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet
locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well illuminated.
5. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from work area.
6. MAKE THE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing
starter keys.
7. DON’T FORCE THE TOOL. It will perform more efficiently and safely when working at the
rate for which it was designed.
8. USE THE CORRECT TOOL. Don’t force the tool or attachment to perform a task for which
it was not designed.
9. USE THE CORRECT EXTENSION CORD. Make sure the extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss
of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and the nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Total length of cord in feet
Gauge number of the cord
25 feet
18 AWG
50 feet
16 AWG
100 feet
14 AWG
150 feet
12 AWG
10. WEAR CORRECT APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or
other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use a face or dust mask if the cutting operation
is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety
glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It is safer than using
hands and also it frees both hands to operate tool.
13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing, and when changing accessories, such as blades,
bits, cutters etc.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in ‘off’ position
before plugging in.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner’s manual for recommended
accessories. The use of incorrect accessories may create a risk of injury to persons.
