SAFETY GUIDELINES
SAFETY GUIDELINES
•
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
Electrical safety
•
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
•
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.
•
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
•
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
•
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.
•
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground-fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
•
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.
•
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure that the switch is in the off-position before connecting to a
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger
on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
•
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.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
•
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.
•
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure that
these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
•
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was designed.
•
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.
•
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.
•
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. Check for misalignment 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.
•
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
•
Use the power tool, accessories, 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.
Battery tool use and care
•
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.
•
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. The use of any other battery pack
may create a risk of injury and fire.
•
When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, such as 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 burns or a fire.
•
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery. Avoid contact. If contact occurs,
flush with water. If liquid comes into contact with the eyes, seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
Service
•
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.
