f)If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3 PERSONAL SAFETY
a)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 medi- cation. A moment of inattention while operating power tools 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 condi- tions will reduce personal injuries.
c)Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
d)Remove any adjusting key or wrench before 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.
e)Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal- ance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f)Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel- lery 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
4 POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a)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.
b)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.
c)Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accesso- ries, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d)Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil- dren 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.
e)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.
f)Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edg- es are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g)Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions tak- ing into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h)Keep handles dry, clean and free of oil and grease. Slippery handles do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5 SERVICE
a)Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
