General Safety Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
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 a powered
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control
Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when operating a powered tool. Do not use a powered tool
while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating a powered tool
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 when not operating the tool and make use of other safety
features which prevent unintentional starting
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the powered
tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the tool
may result in personal injury
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations
f) 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
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
WARNING: User exposure to tool vibration can result in loss of sense of
touch, numbness, tingling and reduced ability to grip. Long term exposure
can lead to a chronic condition. If necessary limit the length of time exposed
to vibration. Use the figures provided in the specification relating to vibration
if provided to calculate the duration and frequency of operating the tool.
The 2002/44/EC directive relating to vibration in the workplace may provide
useful information even for domestic use of tools. In the first instance of
feeling uncomfortable due to vibration STOP using the tool immediately.
WARNING: Always wear ear protection where the sound level exceeds
80dB and limit the time of exposure if necessary. If sound levels are
uncomfortable even with ear protection stop using the tool immediately and
check the ear protection is correctly fitted and provides the right level of
sound attenuation for the level of sound produced by your tool.
Tool use and care
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 by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
tool is maintained
