of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
c)
Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool.
Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.
2 ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a)
Power tool plugs must match the out-
let. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools.
Un-
modified plugs and matching outlets will re-
duce risk of electric shock.
b)
Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radi-
ators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
c)
Do not 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 for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
e)
When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for out-
door use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f)
If operating a power tool in a damp lo-
cation is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
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 influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A
moment of inattention while operating pow-
er tools may result in serious personal inju-
ry.
b)
Use personal protective equipment. Al-
ways 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 energising 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 unexpect-
ed 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.
g)
If devices are provided for the connec-
tion 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 tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was de-
signed.
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 battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools.
Such preventive safety mea-
sures 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 mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
