•
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. Replace
damaged cords immediately. 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 reduces the risk of electric shock.
•
To reduce the risk of electric shock, the manufacturer
recommends the use of a residual current of 30mA or
less at all times.
3). Personal safety
•
To reduce the risk of electric shock, the manufacturer
recommends the use of a residual current of 30mA or
less at all times.
•
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 dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection will
reduce personal injures.
•
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 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, clothing and gloves 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.
4). Power tool use and care
•
Do not force the power tools. 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 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.
•
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 with care. 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.
