Personal Safety - Cocraft TY-MT300C-UK Original Instructions Manual

3) Personal safety

a) Pay attention to what you are doing and use common sense when using power tools.
Never use power tools if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. One moment of inattention while using a power tool may result in a serious injury.
b) Wear protective clothing. Always wear safety glasses. Using protective clothing such as
dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, helmets and ear defenders decreases the risk of injury.
c) Avoid accidental starts. Make sure that the power switch is set to OFF before
plugging the power tool into a wall socket, fitting the battery or picking up/carrying
the power tool. Carrying a power tool with your finger on the power switch/trigger or
connecting the power tool to a wall socket when the power switch is set to ON is inviting
an accident.
d) Remove all service tools/keys before switching on the power tool. A service tool left on
any moving part of the power tool may result in injury.
e) Do not overreach. Make sure you stand steady and well balanced at all times.
This ensures better control over the power tool in unexpected situations.
f)
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep hair,
clothes and gloves away from moving parts. Loose-fitting clothes, jewellery or long hair
could become caught in moving parts.
g) If equipment for dust extraction or collecting is available make sure it is connected
and used properly. Using technical aids may decrease dust related hazards.
4) Use and maintenance of the power tool
a) Do not force the power tool. Use a power tool suitable for the work you are about to
perform. The proper power tool will perform the task better and safer if used at the correct
feed rate.
b) Never use the power tool if the power switch does not switch the tool on and off properly.
All power tools that cannot be controlled by the power switch are dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Unplug the lead from the wall socket or remove the battery before making any
adjustments, changing accessories or storing the power tool. These precautions reduce
the risk of the power tool starting unexpectedly.
d) Store power tools that are not being used out of children's reach. Do not allow people
who are unfamiliar with the tool or its functions to operate the tool. Power tools can be
dangerous if they fall into the hands of inexperienced users.
e) Maintaining power tools. Check for any incorrect settings, parts that catch, broken
parts or anything else which may cause the power tool to malfunction. If something is
damaged it must be repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp blades
are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, and any accessories in accordance with these instructions,
take into consideration the working conditions and the work that is to be performed.
Using the power tool for a purpose other than that for which it is intended could result in
a dangerous situation.
