General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, user must read and understand instruction manual.
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term „power tool" in all of the warnings
listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated
(cordless) power tool, also machines and electric units. Only use the power tool for
the purpose for which it was intended, with the due attention to the general safety
and accident prevention regulations.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1) Work area
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the pres-
ence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmod-
ified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. If the power
tool comes with an earthed wire, the plug may only be connected to an earthed
receptacle. At work sites, in damp surroundings, in the open or in the case of
comparable types of use, only operate the power tool off the mains using a 30
mA fault current protected switch (FI breaker).
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplug-
ging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use 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 influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such
as dust mask, non skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before
plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
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 balance 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, jewellery 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 these devices
can reduce dust related hazards.
h) Only allow trained personnel to use the power tool. Apprentices may only
operate the power tool when they are over 16, when this is necessary for their
training and when they are supervised by a trained operative.
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 before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety meas-
ures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired by a qualified expert
or by an authorised REMS after-sales service facility 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 edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece. This is safer
than holding it with your hand, and also it frees both hands to operate the equip-
ment.
