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.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions
WORK AREA
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.
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.
j.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments or changing accessories. Accidental starting of
the power tool is a cause of some accidents.
k. Properly assemble the working stand before mounting
the tool. Proper assembly is important to prevent risk of
collapse.
l.
Securely fasten the power tool to the working stand before
use. Power tool shifting on the working stand can cause loss
of control.
m. Place the working stand on a solid, flat and level surface.
When the working stand can shift or rock, the power tool or
workpiece cannot be steadily and safely controlled.
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.
