GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
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.
1)
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.
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 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.
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 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 and clothing 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.
h)
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow
you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A
careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
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 remove the
battery pack, if detachable, 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.
