General Safety Instructions

WARNING! When using electric tools
basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and personal injury
including the following.
Read all of these instructions before attempting to
operate this product and save these instructions.
SAVE THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
1. Keep work area clear.
Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
2. Consider work area environment.
Do not expose the tool to rain. Do not use the
tool in damp or wet conditions. Keep the work
area well lit (250 - 300 Lux). Do not use the tool
where there is a risk of causing fire or explosion,
e.g. in the presence of flammable liquids and
gases.
3. Guard against electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces (e.g.,
pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators).
When using the tool under extreme conditions
(e.g., high humidity, when metal swarf is being
produced, etc.), electric safety can be improved
by inserting an isolating transformer or a (FI)
earth-leakage circuit-breaker.
4. Keep other persons away.
Do not let persons, especially children, not
involved with the work, touch the tool or the
extension cord and keep them away from the
work area.
5. Store idle tools.
When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry
place and locked up securely, out of reach of
children.
6. Do not force the tool.
It will do the job better and safer at the rate to
which it was intended.
7. Use the right tool.
Do not force small tools to do the job of a heavy
duty tool. Do not use tools for purposes not
intended; for example do not use circular saws
to cut tree limbs or logs.
8. Dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as
these can be caught in moving parts. Non-
skid footwear is recommended when working
outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
9. Use protective equipment.
Always use safety glasses. Use a face or
dust mask if working operations create dust
or flying particles. If these particles might be
considerably hot, also wear a heat-resistant
apron. Wear ear protection at all times. Wear a
safety helmet at all times.
10. Connect dust extraction equipment.
If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
that these are connected and properly used.
11. Do not abuse the cord.
Never yank the cord to disconnect if from
the socket. Keep the cord away from heat,
oil and sharp edges. Never carry the tool by its
own cord.
12. Secure work.
Where possible use clamps or a vice to hold
the work. It is safer than using your hand and it
frees both hands to operate the tool.
13. Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. Maintain tools with care.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better
and safer performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect
tools periodically and if damaged have them
repaired by an authorised service facility. Keep
handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
15. Disconnect tools.
When not in use, before servicing and when
changing accessories such as blades, bits and
cutters, disconnect tool from the power supply.
16. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.
Form the habit of checking to see that adjusting
keys and wrenches are removed from the tool
before operating the tool.
