3) Personal safety
a) Pay attention to what you are doing and use common sense when using
power tools. Neveruse power tools if you are tired or under theinfluence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. Onemoment of inattention while using apower
tool may result in aserious injury.
b) Wear protective clothing. Alwayswear safety glasses. Usingprotective
clothing such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, helmets and ear defenders
reduces therisk of injury.
c) Avoid accidental starts. Makesure that thepower switch is set to OFF before
plugging thepower tool into awall socket, picking up or carrying thepower
tool. Nevercarry apower tool with your finger on thetrigger and never connect
thepower tool to awall socket when theswitch is set to ON, since it may result
ininjury.
d) Remove all service tools/keys before switching on thepower tool.
Aservicetool left on 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ensures
better control over thepower tool in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Donot wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery.
Keephair, clothes and gloves away from moving parts. Loose-fitting clothes,
jewellery or long hair could become caught in moving parts.
4) Use and maintenance of the power tool
a) Do not force thepower tool. Usethecorrect power tool for your application.
Thecorrect power tool will perform thetask better and safer if used at thecorrect
feedrate.
b) Never use thepower tool if thepower switch does not switch thetool on and
off. Anypower tool that cannot be controlled by thepower switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Unplug thelead from thewall socket before making any adjustments,
changing accessories or storing thepower tool. Theseprecautions reduce
therisk of thepower tool starting unexpectedly.
d) Store power tools that are not being used out of children’s reach.
Donotallow people who are unfamiliar with thetool or these instructions
to operate thetool. Powertools can be dangerous if they fall into thehands of
inexperienced users.
e) Maintaining power tools. Checkfor any incorrect settings, parts that
catch, broken parts or anything else which may cause thepower tool
to malfunction. Ifsomething is damaged it must be 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, and any accessories in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account theworking conditions and thework to
be performed. Using thepower tool for apurpose other than that for which it is
intended could result in adangerous situation.
