If operating a powertool in a damp location is unavoidable,
use a ground
fault circuit
interrupter
(GFCI) protected
supply. Use of a GFCI 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 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 energizing 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.
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.
g) If devices
are
provided
for
the
connection
of dust
extraction
and
collection
facilities,
ensure
these

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
and
do not allow persons
unfamiliar

have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
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.
