dust mask, non‐skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
whenever conditions require will reduce personal injuries.
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before
plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the tool on. A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
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.
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.
Engine tool use and care
Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Store idle tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the tool or these instructions to operate the tool. The tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools. Check for misalignment or sticking of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If
damaged, have the tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to stick and are easier to control.
Use the tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of tool, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the
tool for operations different from intended could lead to a hazardous
situation.
PETROL SAFETY WARNINGS
Do not operate in a hazardous location. Such areas include where there is a
risk of explosion of petrol fumes, leaking gas or explosive dust.
