Safety Instructions
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions 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.
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.
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. NOTE: The term residual current device (RCD) may be replaced by the term ground fault circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or earth leakage circuit
breaker (ELCB).
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.e
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as 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 energizing 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, 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.
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 tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
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.
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or attaching a rotating wheel, a bearing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or hanging causes rapid stalling
of the rotating accessory which in turn forced the tool Power out of control in the opposite direction of rotation of the accessory to the point of seizing.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of
the material, causing jumps or expulsion of the grinding wheel. The wheel can jump towards the operator or by moving away, as the direction of movement of
the grinding wheel at the point of pinch. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions. Kickback is the result of misuse of the tool and / or procedures
or conditions incorrect operation and can be avoided by taking proper precautions specified below.
a) Maintain firmly the power tool and position your body and arm for you allow to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, where applicable, for
maximum control of kickback or torque reaction during startup. The operator can control the reaction torques or forces rebound, if precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. The accessory can perform a bounce on your hand.
c) Do not place yourself in the area where power tool will move in case kickback occurs. The rebound pushes the tool in the opposite direction to the
movement of the wheel at the hooking point.
d) Take special care when working corners, sharp edges etc.
Avoid twists and snaps of the accessory. Corners, edges or sharp twists tend to hang the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain, blade wood carving saw chain or toothed saw blade. Such blades cause frequent rebounds and control losses.
