PERSONAL SAFETY – cont’d
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to the power source, 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.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or key that is 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 jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothing, jewelry 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 properly and used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
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 when used 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 before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
Store 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. 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 power 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 condition.
