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.
D) 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 measures
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 RAIDER
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 equipment.
h) Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended
for the particular type of power tool, 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. All unauthorised
modifications to the power tool are
prohibited for safety reasons.
E) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
b) Comply with maintenance instructions
and instructions on tool replacements.
c) Check mains lead of power tool ularly
and have it replaced by a qualified expert or
an authorised RAIDER after-sales service
facility in case of damage.
Check extension cable ularly and replace it
when damaged.
