3C: Personal Safety
1. STAY ALERT, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
stationary tool. Do not use a stationary tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
stationary 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 switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying stationary tools with your finger on the switch or energizing stationary tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the stationary tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the stationary tool may result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the stationary tool in unexpected situations.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Hearing protection is recommended to be worn during operation of tool.
3D: Stationary Tool Use and Care
1. Do not force the tool. Use the correct stationary tool for your application.
The correct stationary tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
2. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any stationary 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 tool
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the stationary tool accidentally.
4. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the stationary tool or these instructions to operate the tool. Powered tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the stationary tool's operation. If
damaged, have the tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained stationary 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 tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions,
considering the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the tool for
operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
