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 outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a
damp location 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 infl uence of
drugs, alcohol 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 fi nger 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 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.
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 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 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 moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may aff ect 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.
