3. Keep visitors away from the work area. All visitors
and onlookers, especially children and infirm persons
should be kept well away from where you are working.
Do not let others in the vicinity make contact with the
tool.
4. Store tools safely. When not in use, tools should be
stored in a dry, high place or locked up out of reach.
5. Do not force the tool. The tool will do the job better
and safer working at the rate for which it was
designed.
6. Use the correct tool for the job. Do not force small
tools or attachments to do the job best handled by a
heavier duty tool. Never use a tool for a purpose other
than that for which it was intended.
7. Dress correctly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves
and non-slip footwear are recommended when working
outdoors. If you have long hair, wear a protective hair
covering.
8. Use safety accessories. Safety glasses and ear muffs
should always be worn.
9. Do not overreach. Keep your footing secure and
balanced at all times.
10. Look after your tools. Keep tools clean and sharp for
better and safer performance. Follow the instructions
regarding lubrication and accessory changes. Keep
tool handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
11. Disable idle tools. Remove the battery from the tool
before servicing and when the tool is not in use.
12. Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure that the
switches are in the OFF position before attaching the
battery.
13. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate a power tool when you are tired.
14. Check for damaged parts. Before using a tool, check
that there are no damaged parts. If a part is slightly
damaged, carefully determine it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for alignment
of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts, proper mounting and any other conditions
that may affect the operation of the tool. A guard or
other part that is damaged should be properly repaired
or replaced by an authorized service facility, unless
otherwise indicated in this manual. Defective switches
must be replaced by an authorised service facility. Do
not use a tool if the switch does not turn the tool ON
and OFF correctly.
