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.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, 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 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 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
g) 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
Power Tool Use & 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 turn 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 and/or the battery
pack from the power tool 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 tool's 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
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
WARNING: Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch
power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the
same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a
voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to
the user, and damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using
a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful
to the motor.

Drill Bit Sharpener Safety
WARNING: Bench mounted and other non-hand-held power tools limit user
exposure to vibration but it is still important to be aware of vibration levels
and stop operating the tool if the vibration level causes discomfort. Take
regular breaks when operating the tool.
• ALWAYS wear appropriate personal protective equipment including eye
protection, ear defenders, gloves and respiratory protection
• Grinding tools must be mounted, used and stored in compliance with the
manufacturer's recommendations
• Use ONLY compatible replacement grinding wheels as stated in this
instruction manual. Attempting to use any other accessory or attachment
is extremely dangerous and could lead to serious injury or destruction
of the device
• DO NOT use any form of spacers or adapters in an attempt to make an
incorrectly sized grinding wheel fit your machine
• Ensure that the grinding wheel is fitted correctly and securely before
use. Run the machine with the grinding wheel fitted, but without load,
for a reasonable time before attempting to sharpen drill bits. If excessive
vibration occurs, stop the machine, investigate and correct the cause
before use. Seek professional guidance if you are in doubt about how to
set up or operate the machine safely
• All replacement grinding wheels must be checked before installation.
If a wheel is damaged in any way, such as by being chipped, fractured,
warped or misshapen, DO NOT USE AND DISCARD. If you are unsure
about whether a grinding wheel is safe to operate, DO NOT USE AND
DISCARD
• Always ensure that grinding wheels are suitable to use. Check the expiry
date on the label. Grinding wheels CANNOT SAFELY BE USED beyond
their expiry date
• DO NOT allow grinding wheels to become wet or contaminated with oil.
If you suspect that a wheel has degraded in storage, or if you are unsure
about whether its expiry date has passed, DO NOT USE AND DISCARD
