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 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) or ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI ) protected supply. Use of a RCD or 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 injury.
c)
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure switch is in 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 adjustment wrench or key 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.
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 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 are connected and
properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust related hazards. It is recommendation that the tool always be supplied
via a residual current device with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
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 preventative 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 tools. 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
e)
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 ect. 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.
5) Service
a)
Have the 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. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
