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 energizing 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 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.
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 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.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving
parts,
breakage
of parts
and any other
condition that may affect the power
toors 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
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. 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) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Recharge
only
with
the charger
specified
by
the
manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery
packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
