6) 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.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery
packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or
authorised service providers.
Multi-tool Safety
• Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of
control can cause personal injury.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
•
Before drilling into walls, ceilings etc, ensure that there are
no concealed power cables or pipes in the cavity.
•
Contact with electric or gas lines can lead to fire, electric
shock and explosions. Penetrating a water line can result in
damage to property and electric shock. Use appropriate
detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work
area. Always be extremely careful when making blind and
pocket cuts where the exit point of the blade or accessory at
the other side of the material cannot be seen.
•
Asbestos may be in materials and textured coatings in
older properties and should be treated with extreme
caution. If you suspect or discover asbestos consult your
local health and safety authority immediately for advice on
its removal. It may require the services of a specialist
asbestos removal company.
•
DO NOT work with damp or wet materials or accessories
that require liquid coolants. Liquids entering the body of
the tool is an electrical hazard as well as likely to destroy the
tool.
•
The dust produced from working with some materials can
be toxic. Beech, oak, mahogany and teak natural woods,
man-made composite woods and some surface treatments
including paint with lead are toxic. Lead based paint is
common in buildings pre 1960. Always wear suitable
respiratory protection for example a respirator face mask.
Ideally also use a dust extraction system or regularly
vacuum the work area to prevent the build-up of dust and
do a final vacuum after the work is completed. Most dust is
a fire hazard. Overhead work surfaces have an increased
safety risk for dust.
a) Wear protective, cut-proof gloves when changing blades and
accessories. Some blades and accessories can be very sharp. Scraper
blades sharpen as they are used. Blades and accessories shortly
after use can be very hot, allow to cool.
b) Keep your workplace clean. Dusts created from different materials
including woods and metals can be highly flammable. Dust from
light alloys including magnesium can burn or explode easily.
c) DO NOT treat the work surface with fluids containing solvents. If
such fluids become warm from scraping, toxic vapours may be
produced, or surfaces may catch fire.
d) ONLY change accessories and blades or perform maintenance with
the tool disconnected from its power supply, either mains
connection or battery. If the tool features a captive battery in a
charged state take extra care not to switch it on accidentally when
changing accessories or blades.
e) ALWAYS use accessories or blades that are approved by the
manufacturer or meet the specification of your power tool, this
includes being compatible in size and speed. DO NOT try to cut
material thicker than the capacity stated in the specification.
f) ONLY use an adapter for using different accessories or blades if
the adapter is specifically designed and approved by the
manufacturer of your power tool.
WARNING!
g) DO NOT modify accessories or blades so they work with power
tools they were not intended to work with or for uses that they
were never designed for.
h) DO NOT use accessories or blades that are damaged, bent,
chipped, cracked, heavily corroded or excessively worn. Such
accessories can break apart in use causing injury to the operator.
ALWAYS inspect accessories or blades before use and discard
immediately if not in good condition. NEVER use blades that are
worn to a dull edge. ALWAYS use sharp blades.
i) ALWAYS ensure all accessories or blades are securely attached to
the tool before use and the securing tool is removed prior to use.
j) DO NOT attempt to free a jammed blade or accessory until the
power tool has been disconnected from power.
k) Inspect the workpiece before use to make sure it is in the correct
condition for the fitted accessory or blade. Remove all nails,
staples and other embedded objects prior to starting work.
l) Any freely movable workpieces should be secured with a clamp or
vice before starting work.
m) ALWAYS ensure that the lighting is adequate in the work area.
Never remove your safety goggles or glasses to improve your view
instead increase the level of lighting or move the lighting so it
specifically illuminates the work area correctly.
n) DO NOT operate the power tool near flammable materials. Be
especially careful when cutting wood and metal. Sparks from metal
cutting are a common cause of wood dust fires.
o) Battery chargers are for indoors use only. Ensure that the power
supply and charger are protected against moisture at all times.
p) NEVER start the power tool while the blade or accessory is in
contact with the workpiece, and always allow the power tool to
reach its full speed before making contact with the workpiece. Use
the variable speed control of the tool (if fitted) to start the tool at
the correct speed for the accessory or blade fitted.
q) DO NOT exert additional pressure on the body of the tool: allow
the blade or accessory to do the work. By not exerting additional
pressure you maintain a safer stronger grip on the power tool when
it breaks through the material, as well as reducing wear on the
power tool which will extend the power tool's service life. Additional
pressure may also bend or twist the accessory or blade which may
cause it to break and cause injury. If the power tool allows for being
held with one or two hands hold with two hands whenever possible.
ALWAYS exercise caution when handling this power tool.
r) Sawing, cutting and abrasive actions create heat. This may affect
the workpiece and power tool. ALWAYS monitor the heat level and
in the event of excessive heat switch off the power tool and allow to
cool before restarting work. Some power tools depending on design
may be more quickly and effectively cooled by running at high speed
without load.
s) The power tool will draw in dust through the vents on its body.
Excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause an electrical
hazard and destroy the tool. ALWAYS ensure the environment dust
level is safe for the tool and ensure the vents are not blocked.
t) For mains-operated power tools, ensure the cable of the power
tool is ALWAYS kept behind the tool and never close to where the
accessory or blade is operating.
u) DO NOT reach under the workpiece, rest the workpiece on your
body, or hold the workpiece while working on it, as contact with
the blade or accessory protruding from the workpiece can result in
serious injury.
v) Anti-vibration gloves should be worn when operating power tools
that produce large amount of vibration, especially during long-
term use.
w) For power tools with a rotating mechanism and accessories ensure
the operator is not wearing clothes or gloves with frayed threads,
cords etc. that could be entangled in the rotating mechanism
dragging the operator's hand into the rotating accessory causing
injury. ALWAYS wear tight fitting work clothes, safety shoes.
Remove jewellery and secure long hair. NEVER wear fabric-based
gloves that can produce strands of material when operating this
type of power tool.
