injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool.
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.
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.
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 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 key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
e.
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.
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.
Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos is considered
carcinogenic).
Take protective measures when during work dust can develop that
is harmful to one's health, combustible or explosive (some dusts
are considered carcinogenic); wear dust mask and work with
dust/chip extraction when connectable.
Secure workpiece. Where possible use clamps or a vice to hold the
workpiece. It is safer than using your hands.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
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 a rate for which it was designed.
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.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
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.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tools operation. If damaged, 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.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance
with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular
type of power tool, 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.
Maintain tools with care . Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease.
