General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING! When using electric power tools, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and
personal injury including the following safety information. Read all these
instructions before attempting to operate this product and save these
instructions for future use.
WARNING: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced, physical or mental capabilities or lack of experience
or knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
CAUTION: 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.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1 - Keep work area clear - Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries
2 - Consider work area environment
- Do not expose tools to rain
- Do not use tools in damp or wet locations
- Keep work area well lit
- Do not use tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases
3 - Guard against electric shock - Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerators)
4 - Keep other persons away - Do not let persons, especially children,
not involved in the work touch the tool or the extension cord and keep
them away from the work area
5 - Store idle tools - When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry
locked-up place, out of reach of children
6 - Do not force the tool - It will perform the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was intended
7 - Use the right tool - Do not force small tools to do the job of a heavy
duty tool
- Do not use tools for purposes for which they are not intended; for
example do not use circular saws to cut tree limbs or logs
8 - Dress appropriately
- Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, which can be caught in
moving parts
- Suitable safety footwear is recommended when working outdoors.
- Wear protective covering to contain long hair
9 - Use protective equipment
-Use safety glasses
-Use face or dust mask if working operations create dust
WARNING: Not using protective equipment or appropriate clothing can
cause personal injury or increase the severity of an injury.
10 - Connect dust extraction equipment - If the tool is provided for the
connection of dust extraction and collecting equipment, ensure these
are connected and properly used
11 - Do not abuse the power cable - Never pull the power cable to
disconnect it from the socket. Keep the power cable away from heat, oil
and sharp edges. Damaged or entangled power cables increase the risk
of electric shock
12 - Secure work - Where possible use clamps or a vice to hold the work.
It is safer than using your hands
13 - Do not overreach - Keep proper footing and balance at all times
14 - Maintain tools with care
- Keeping cutting tools sharp and clean makes the tool easier to control
and less likely to bind or lock in the workpiece
- Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories
- Inspect tool power cables periodically and have them repaired by an
authorised service facility if damaged
- Inspect extension cables periodically and replace if damaged
- Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease
WARNING: Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
15 - Disconnect tools - Disconnect tools from the power supply when not
in use, before servicing and when changing accessories such as blades,
bits and cutters
WARNING: The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer may result in a risk of injury to persons.
16 - Remove adjusting keys and wrenches - Form the habit of checking
to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool
before switching it on
17 - Avoid unintentional starting - Ensure switch is in "off" position
when connecting to a mains socket, inserting a battery pack, or when
picking up or carrying the tool
WARNING: Unintended starting of a tool can cause major injuries.
18 - Use outdoor extension leads - When the tool is used outdoors, use
only extension cords intended for outdoor use and so marked. Use of
an extension cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock
19 - Stay alert
- Watch what you are doing, use common sense and do not operate the
tool when you are tired
- Do not use a power tool while you are under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication
WARNING: A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
20 - Check damaged parts
- Before further use of tool, it should be carefully checked to determine
that it will operate properly and perform its intended function
- Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its
operation
- A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorised service centre unless otherwise indicated in
this instruction manual
- Have defective switches replaced by an authorised service centre
WARNING: Do not use the tool if the on/off switch does not switch it on and
off. The switch must be repaired before the tool is used.
21 - Have your tool repaired by a qualified person - This electric tool
complies with the relevant safety rules. Repairs should only be carried
out by qualified persons, otherwise this may result in considerable
danger to the user
WARNING: When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
WARNING: If the power cable is damaged it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or an authorised service centre.
22 - Power tool mains plugs must match the mains socket - Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching sockets will
reduce risk of electric shock
23 - If operating a power tool outside use a residual current device (RCD) -
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock
NOTE: The term "residual current device (RCD)" may be replaced by the
term "ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)" or "earth leakage circuit
breaker (ELCB)".
WARNING: When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended that
this tool is ALWAYS supplied via Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated
residual current of 30mA or less.
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.
