concerning use of the tool by a person responsible for their safety. Children
must be supervised to ensure that they DO NOT play with the tool.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
1)
Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) DO NOT operate tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating or using this tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating or using this tool. DO NOT operate or use the tool while you
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating or using the tool may result in serious
personal injury. Work sensibly at all times with regular breaks if necessary.
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) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before operating the tool. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
d) DO NOT overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
e) 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.
3) Tool use and care
IMPORTANT: Tools used outdoors may require more regular cleaning and surface
treatment to prevent corrosion, as well as replacement grease or oil on moving
parts to maintain them in good working condition.
a) Maintain tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained tools.
b) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
c) Use the tool’s accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work
to be performed. Use of the tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
4) Service
a) Have your tool serviced or repaired by a qualified repair person using
only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the tool
is maintained.
