SAFETY
GENERAL MACHINE SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions,
-
illustrations and specifications provided with this
machine. 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 "machine" in the warnings refers to your mains
operated (corded) machine or battery-operated (cordless)
machine.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate machines in explosive atmospheres,
0512
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Machines create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a machine. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Machine plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) machines. 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 machines to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a machine will increase the risk of electric
shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the machine. 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 machine 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 machine 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 machine. Do not
use a machine while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating machines may result in
serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as a 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 machine. Carrying machines with your finger on the
switch or energising machines that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the machine on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the machine may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the machine 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
