PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
machine. Do not use a machine while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating machines
may result in serious personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3. 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
machine. Carrying machines with your finger on the switch or energizing
machines that have the switch on invites accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the machine on. A wrench or
a key left attached to a rotating part of the machine may result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the machine in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
7. 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.
8. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of machines allow you to become
complacent and ignore machine safety principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
MACHINE USE AND CARE
1. Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine for your application. The
correct machine will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
2. Do not use the machine if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any machine that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if
detachable, from the machine before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing machines. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the machine accidentally.
