5) Store idle tools - When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry
locked-up place, out of reach of children
6) Do not force the tool - It will perform the job better and safer at the
rate for 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 appropriately
a) Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, which can be caught in
moving parts
b) Suitable safety footwear is recommended when working outdoors.
c) Wear protective covering to contain long hair
9) Use protective equipment
a) Use safety glasses
b) Use face or dust mask if working operations create dust
WARNING: Not using protective equipment or appropriate clothing can
cause personal injury or increase the severity of an injury.
10) Connect dust extraction equipment - If the tool is provided for the
connection of dust extraction and collecting equipment, ensure these
are connected and properly used
11) Do not abuse the power cable - Never yank the power cable to
disconnect it from the socket. Keep the power cable away from heat,
oil and sharp edges. Damaged or entangled power cables increase
the risk of electric shock
12) Secure work - Where possible use clamps or a vice to hold the
work. It is safer than using your hand
13) Do not overreach - Keep proper footing and balance at all times
14) Maintain tools with care
a) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean makes the tool easier to control
and less likely to bind or lock in the workpiece
b) Follow instruction for lubricating and changing accessories
c) Inspect tool power cables periodically and if damaged have them
repaired by an authorized service facility
d) Inspect extension cables periodically and replace if damaged
e) Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease
WARNING: Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
15) Disconnect tools - When not in use, before servicing and when
changing accessories such as blades, bits and cutters, disconnect
tools from the power supply
WARNING: The use of accessories or attachments not recommended
by the manufacturer may result in a risk of injury to persons.
16) Remove adjusting keys and wrenches - Form the habit of
checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from
the tool before switching it on
17) Avoid unintentional starting - Ensure switch is in "off' position
when connecting to a mains socket or inserting a battery pack, or
when picking up or carrying the tool
WARNING: Unintended starting of a tool can cause major injuries.
18) Use outdoor extension leads - When the tool is used outdoors,
use only extension cords intended for outdoor use and so marked.
Use of an extension cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock
19) Stay alert
a) Watch what you are doing, use common sense and do not operate
the tool when you are tired
b) Do not use a power tool while you are under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication
WARNING: A moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
20) Check damaged parts
a) Before further use of tool, it should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function
b) Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may
affect its operation
c) A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired
or replaced by an authorized service centre unless otherwise
indicated in this instruction manual
d) Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service centre
WARNING: Do not use the tool if the on/off switch does not turn it on
and off. The switch must be repaired before the tool is used.
21) Have your tool repaired by a qualified person - This electric
tool complies with the relevant safety rules. Repairs should only
be carried out by qualified persons, otherwise this may result in
considerable danger to the user
WARNING: When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
WARNING: If the power cable is damaged it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or an authorised service centre.
22) Power tool mains plugs must match the mains socket - Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
sockets will reduce risk of electric shock
23) If operating a power tool outside use a residual current device
(RCD) - Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock
NOTE: The term "residual current device (RCD)" may be replaced by
the term "ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)" or "earth leakage circuit
breaker (ELCB)".
WARNING: When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended
that this tool is ALWAYS supplied via Residual Current Device (RCD)
with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
Polarized Plugs (for North America only) To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change
the plug in any way.
