ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) 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. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, stoves and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
c) Don’t 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 to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
a) 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 inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions to protect against personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying tools with your nger
on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove adjusting key or wrench before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a moving part of the
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, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool, 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.
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 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 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.
