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 tool
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 a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power
toot may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing
and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power toot 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. Air vents often cover moving
parts and should also be avoided.
g) 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.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power toot
wilt 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 toot 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 toot
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.
e) 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.
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 etc., in accordance
with these instructions
and in the
manner intended for the particular
