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.
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.
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.
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.
