A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always
b.
wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce per-
sonal injuries.
3.
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
d.
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 unex-
pected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
f.
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of
g.
dust extraction and collection facilities, en-
sure 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 injury within a
fraction of a second.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool.
a.
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
b.
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that can-
not be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
c.
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing pow-
er tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
d.
Keep unused electric tools out of the reach of
children.
Do not let people use the electric tool who are not
familiar with it or who have not read these instruc-
tions. Electric tools are dangerous if they are used
by inexperienced people.
Maintain power tools and accessories.
e.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool's operation. If dam-
aged, 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 electric tools, insertion tools, etc. accord-
ing to these instructions.
Take the working conditions and the activity to be
carried out into consideration. Using electric tools
for applications other than the intended uses can
lead to dangerous situations.
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.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
a.
repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
Drill safety warnings
The drill must be secured.
a.
A drill that is not properly secured may move or tip
over and may result in personal injury.
The workpiece must be clamped or secured to
b.
the workpiece support. Do not drill pieces that
are too small to be clamped securely.
