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,
alcohot 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 dust mask; non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) 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 energizing 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 a 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 jewelry.
Keep
your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry 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.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power toot 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 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.
c) 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.
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,
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding
of movingparts,
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 cutting 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.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack:
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated
battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
Injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects
like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws,
or other small metal objects that can make a connection
from one terminal
to another.
Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause bums or a fire.
d) Under abusive
conditions,
liquid may be ejected from
the battery, avoid contact.
If contact accidentally
occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek
medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
