Safety
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.
Work area safety
▶
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
▶
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.
▶
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
▶
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.
▶
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.
▶
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
▶
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.
▶
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.
Personal safety
▶
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.
▶
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.
▶
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.
▶
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.
▶
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
▶
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.
▶
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.
▶
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.
Power tool use and care
▶
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.
▶
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.
▶
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.
▶
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.
▶
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.
▶
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
▶
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.
▶
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.
Service
▶
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.
