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 safer 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 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 and tool bits etc.,
in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
Service
•
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
personnel using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
Additional safety rules for screwguns
•
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out
any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
•
Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential
overheating.
•
When an extension cable is required, you must ensure
it has the right ampere rating for your power tool and
is in a safe electrical condition.
•
Ensure your mains supply voltage is the same as your
tool rating plate voltage.
•
Your tool is double insulated for additional protection
against a possible electrical insulation failure within
the tool.
•
Always check walls, floors and ceilings to avoid hidden
power cables and pipes.
•
After long working periods external metal parts and
accessories could be hot.
•
Do not put pressure on the screwgun, such that it slows
the motor down. Allow the screwgun bit to cut without
pressure. You will get better results and you will be
taking better care of your tool.
•
Always switch off before you put the screwgun down.
•
Before operating, check that there is sufficient
clearance for the screw under the workpiece.
•
Only use accessory bits in good condition.
•
Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never
be left around the work area.
•
If possible, always use clamps or a vice to hold
your work.
•
Ensure that the lighting is adequate.
