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.
2.4
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 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.
2.5
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.

saws
3.1
Safety warnings common for grinding,
sanding:
a) This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder or sand paper grinder. Read all safety
warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
b) Operations such as polishing or cutting -off
or working with wire brushes are not
6
recommended to be performed with this power
tool. Operations for which the power tool was not
designed may create a hazard and cause personal
injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are not
specifically designed and recommended by the
tool manufacturer. Even if an accessory can be
attached to your power tool, this does not ensure
safe operation.
d) The rated speed of the accessory must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked on
the power tool. Accessories running faster than
their rated speed can break and fly apart.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of
your accessory must be within the capacity
rating of
our power tool. Incorrectly sized
Y
accessories cannot be adequately guarded or
controlled.
f) The threaded mounting of accessories must
match the grinder spindle thread. For
accessories mounted by flanges, the arbour
hole of the accessory must fit the locating
diameter of the flange. Accessories that do not
match the mounting hardware of the power tool will
run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may
result in a loss of control.
g) Do not use damaged accessories. Inspect
accessories such as grinding discs before
each use for chips and cracks and inspect
backing pads for cracks, tear or excess wear
and wire brushes for loose or cracked wires. If
a power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect
for damage or install an undamaged
accessory. After inspecting and installing an
accessory, position yourself and bystanders
away from the plane of the rotating accessory
and run the power tool at the maximum no-load
speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will
normally break apart during this test time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. Use a
face shield, safety goggles or safety goggles
depending on the application. As appropriate,
wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves
and shop apron capable of stopping small
abrasive or workpiece fragments. Eye protection
must be capable of stopping flying debris generated
by various operations. A dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtering particles generated by
your operation. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
the work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of a workpiece or broken accessory may
fly off and result in injury beyond the immediate area
of operation.
j) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
