Personal safety
• Be alert. Always be careful and use common sense when working with power tools.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A lapse of concentration while operating power tools may
result in serious injury.
• The hot knife is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the hot
knife by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the hot knife.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment tailored to the type and use of the power tool, such as dust masks,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hats and hearing protection, will reduce the risk of
personal injuries.
• Avoid unintentional starting. Ensure that the switch is in the o position before
connecting to the power source or when the power tool is to be lifted/carried.
Carrying power tools with your nger on the on-o switch or energising power
tools that are switched on invites accidents.
• Remove any wrenches or similar objects before starting the power tool. Any wrench
or key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep a proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose-tting clothes or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
• 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.
Use and care of power tools
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The
tool will work better and be safer with the load for which it is designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and o. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
