Personal Safety; Power Tool Use And Care - Chicago Electric 69917 Owner's Manual & Safety Instructions

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, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
3. prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the Trigger is in the off-position
before connecting to power source,
picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on
the Trigger or energizing power tools that
have the Trigger on invites accidents.

power Tool Use and care

1. 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.
2. Do not use the power tool if the Trigger
does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the Trigger is
dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power
source 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 unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.

4. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Only use safety equipment
that has been approved by an
appropriate standards agency.
Unapproved safety equipment may
not provide adequate protection.
Eye protection must be ANSI-approved
and breathing protection must be
NIOSH-approved for the specific
hazards in the work area.
5. 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.
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
instructions, taking 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.
