2) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
(2.3)
[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 the 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) 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.
e) If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (R.C.D.) protected supply.
Use of an R.C.D reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
(2.4)
[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 to prevent injury from
sparks and chippings. Protective equipment
such as dust masks, nonskid 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
www.evolutionpowertools.com
switch or energising the 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 key left attached to a rotating part of
a 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
that these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
h) When cutting metal, gloves should be
worn before handling to prevent from
getting burnt from hot metal.
4) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
(2.5)
[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 a rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on or off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the power tool from the
power source and/or battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventative 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 moving parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power
