Make sure you read all these instructions before using the power
tool and keep the safety instructions in a safe place.
1. Working safely
- Keep your work area tidy
- Untidiness in the work area can result in accidents.
2. Take the environmental influences into consideration
- Do not expose the power tools to rain.
- Do not use power tools in moist or wet environments.
- Ensure good illumination of the work area.
- Do not use power tools if a fire- or explosion hazard exists.
3. Protect yourself from electric shock
- Prevent contact between your body and grounded parts
(e.g. pipes, radiators, electric ranges, cooling appliances)
4. Keep other persons at a distance
- Do not let other people, especially children, touch the power
tool or the cable. Keep them out of your work area.
5. Store the power tools safely
- Power tools not in use should be stored in a dry, high, or
closed place, out of the reach of children.
6. Do not overload your power tools
- You will work better and more safely within the stated
power range.
7. Use the right power tool for the job
- Do not use a low power machine for a heavy-duty job.
- Do not use the power tool for any purpose for which it was
not intended. For instance, do not use a portable circular
saw to cut tree branches or logs.
8. Wear suitable clothing
- Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They could become
entangled in the moving parts.
- Skid-proof shoes are recommended when working out-
doors.
- If your hair is long, wear a hairnet.
9. Use personal protective gear
- Wear safety glasses
- Wear a breathing mask when performing dust-evolving
work.
10. Connect the dust-exhaust system
- If connections for dust-suction and collection equipment
are available, make sure that these have been connected
and are being used correctly.
11. Do not use the cable for any use other than the one it was
intended.
- Do not use the cable to pull the plug from the receptacle.
Protect the cable from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
12. Secure the workpiece
- Use clamping fixtures or a vice to hold the workpiece in
place. This is safer than holding it in your hand.
13. Avoid abnormal posture
- Make sure you have a firm stance and keep your balance at
all times.
14. Maintain your tool with care
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for safer and better work.
- Follow the instructions about lubrication and tool replacement.
- Check the power tool's connection lead at regular intervals
and have these replaced by an authorized specialist in case
of damage.
- Check the extension cords regularly and replace them if
damaged.
