General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power
tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1. Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. 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 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.
e) 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.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
g) Use proper extension cord. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough
to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
3. 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. Protective
equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid 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 switch or
energising 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 a key left attached to a rotating part of the 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 and
clothing 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.

h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
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 remove the battery pack,
if detachable, 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 and accessories. 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.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control
of the tool in unexpected situations.
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.
Additional Safety for Routers
WARNING:
•
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter
may contact its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
•
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to
a stable platform. Holding the work by your hand or against the body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
•
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by
the manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
•
It is strongly recommended that the tool always be supplied via a residual
current device with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
a) Use safety equipment including safety goggles or shield, ear protection,
dust mask and protective clothing including safety gloves
b) Cloths, cord, string etc should never be left around the work area
c) Ensure the mains supply voltage is the same as the tool rating plate voltage
d) Ensure any cable extensions used with this tool are in a safe electrical
condition, and have the correct ampere rating for the tool
e) Completely unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential overheating
f) Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility cables or pipes are below
the surface of the work area. Consult utility companies for assistance if
necessary. Contact with electric cables can lead to electric shock and fire.
Damaging a gas pipe can lead to explosion. Contact with water lines can lead to
major property damage
g) Ensure embedded objects such as nails and screws have been removed
from the workpiece before commencing operation
