Personal Safety - Ingersoll Rand EC24N Manuel D'instructions

FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN INJURY.

PERSONAL SAFETY

•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
•
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off
before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger
on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch
on invite accidents.
•
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning
the tool on. A wrench or a key that is 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. Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
•
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non–skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
•
Power tools can vibrate in use. Vibration, repetitive
motions, or uncomfortable positions may be harmful to
your hands and arms. Stop using any tool if
discomfort, tingling feeling or pain occurs. Seek
medical advice before resuming use.
TOOL USE AND CARE
•
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
•
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed.
•
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
•
Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
•
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
•
Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean for
better and safer performance. Inspect tool cords
periodically and if damaged, have them repaired by
an authorized service facility. Inspect extension
cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep
handles, dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
•
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may

affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
•
Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may
be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when
used on another tool.
•
Use the right tool. Do not force a small tool or
attachment to do the job of a heavy–duty tool.
•
Don't use tool for purpose not intended.
For example – don't use screwdriver for a drill.
•
Do not drop or abuse the screwdriver.
•
Do not use this screwdriver for tightening wood
screws.
•
Do not remove any labels. Replace any damaged
label.
•
When tool is used outdoors, use only extension
cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.
PLACING TOOL IN SERVICE
•
Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result in a risk or
injury.
•
When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
instructions may create a risk of electric shock or
injury.
•
Always wear eye protection when operating or
performing maintenance on this tool.
•
Always operate, inspect and maintain this tool in
accordance with all regulations (local, state, federal
and country), that may apply to hand held/hand
operated electric tools.
•
Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have
them repaired by an authorized service facility.
Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if
damaged.
•
Disconnect Tools when not in use, before servicing
and when changing accessories and bits.
•
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tool,
a guard or other part that is damaged 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 authorized service center unless otherwise indicated
elsewhere in this operation manual.
•
Have defective switches replaced by an authorized
service center.
•
Disconnect the Controller power cord before
performing any maintenance on these tools.
