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.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a.
Keep work area well ventilated, clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as
b.
in the presence or 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.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug
a.
in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce the 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.
3) 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.
b.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as a dusk 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
c.
position before connecting the tool to a 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.
d.
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.
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 and clothing 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.
h.
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 injuries within a fraction of a
second.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a.
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct 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 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 remove the
battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories or storing power tools.
Such preventative 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.
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment
e.
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.
f.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g.
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.
h.
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.
5) 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.
ANGLE GRINDER SAFETY
WARNINGS
6) SAFETY WARNINGS COMMON FOR
GRINDING AND SANDING OPERATIONS
a.
This power tool is intended to function as a grinder or sander.
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.
b.
Operations such as wire brushing, polishing or cut-off
operations are not recommended to be performed with this
power tool. Operations for which the power tool was not
designed may create a hazard and cause injury.
c.
Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and
recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the
accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure
safe operation.
d.
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the
maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories
running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
