Personal Safety - Craftsman Nextec 320.61326 Operator's Manual

PERSONAL SAFETY
= Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
= 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.
= Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure that the switch is in the OFF
position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up, or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch
or energizing in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
= 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.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
= 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.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• 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.
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.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack
from the power tool before marking any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
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.
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.
