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
these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
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.
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.
(B) Additional safety rules for heat blowing appliances
a) Position yourself so as to avoid being caught between the tool's hot air duct or its bell/nozzle
and the work area. Burn hazard.
b) Do not use damaged accessories (for ex.: bell). Damaged accessories may fall and cause serious
injury or damage.
c) When installing the accessory, insert it strongly enough on the main heating duct. If the
accessory (e.g. bell) is not inserted properly, the grip of the accessory is greatly reduced and likely to
increase the risk of fall.
d) Never grasp the tool's hot air duct or the bell/nozzle while in operation and never place your
hands or any body part too close to the hot bell/nozzle or hot air current. Serious burn hazard.
e) Be careful when working with the power tool. The power tool produces intense heat which can
lead to increased danger of fire and explosion.
f) Exercise special care when working close to inflammable materials. The hot air jet or the hot
bell can ignite dust or gases.
g) Do not operate or work with the power tool in areas where there is danger of explosion.
h) Never direct the hot air jet at the same position for longer periods. Fire can easily develop
and spread.
i) Be aware that heat can be conducted to hidden covered materials and can ignite them.
j) After using, place the power tool down in a secure manner and allow it to cool down
completely before packing it away or storage. The hot air duct and bell/bbq nozzle can cause
damage.
