5)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.
6)If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of RCD reduces the risk of electrical shock.
Personal Safety
1)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 influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2)Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask,
3)Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
4)Remove any adjusting key or wrench be- fore 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.
5)Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6)Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth- ing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7)If devices are provided for the connec- tion of dust extraction and collection fa- cilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust- related hazards.
Power Tool Use and Care
1)Do not force the power tool. Use the cor- rect power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job bet- ter and safer at the rate for which it was de- signed.
2)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.
3)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.
4)Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons un- familiar with the power tool or these in- structions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5)Maintain power tools. Check for misalign- ment or binding of moving parts, break- age 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 main- tained power tools.
6)Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7)Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these in- structions, taking into account the work- ing conditions and the work to be per- formed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Battery Tool Use and Care
1)Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of bat- tery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
