of a 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)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk
of electric shock.
(2.4) 3) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[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 to prevent injury from
sparks and chippings. Protective equipment such
as dust masks, 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 energising the 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 key left attached to a rotating part of a
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 jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves 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
that these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent
use of tools allow you to become complacent
and ignore tool safety principles. A careless
action can cause severe injury within a fraction of
a second.
(2.5) 4) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[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 a rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on or off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the power tool from the power
source and/or 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 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 moving
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,
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.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
(2.6) 5) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[Service] a) Have your 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 of this power tool is damaged, it must be
replaced by a specially prepared supply cord
available through the service organization.
