GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
!
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below
refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use 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
an earth leakage circuit breaker. Use of an earth leakage circuit
breaker reduces the risk of electric shock.
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 safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position
before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before switching 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 jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions
WORK AREA
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
h. Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos is
considered carcinogenic).
i. Take protective measures when during work dust can
develop that is harmful to one's health, combustible or
explosive (some dusts are considered carcinogenic); wear a dust
mask and work with dust/ chip extraction when connectable.
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 switch 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 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 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 and in the manner intended for the
particular type of power tool, 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.
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.
