WARNING. When using power tools, basic safety precautions
should always be taken to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock and personal injury. Also, please read and heed the
advice given in the additional important safety instructions.
1. Keep the work area clean and tidy. Cluttered work areas
and benches invite accidents and injury.
2. Consider the environment in which you are working. Do
not use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep the work
area well lit. Do not expose power tools to rain. Do not use
power tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
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 or extension cord.
4. Store tools safely. When not in use, tools should be
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 for which it was
not intended.
7. Dress correctly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
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 earmuffs
should always be worn. A face or dust mask is also
required if the drilling operation creates dust.
9. Secure the work piece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the
work piece. It is safer than using your hand and frees both
hands to operate the tool.
10. Do not overreach. Keep your footing secure and
balanced at all times.
11. Look after your tools. Keep tools sharp and clean for
better and safer performance. Follow the instructions
regarding lubrication and accessory changes. Inspect tool
cords periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired
by an authorised service facility. Inspect extension cords
periodically and replace them if damaged. Keep tool
handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
12. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check to see
that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the
tool before switching on.
13. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate a 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 if 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 part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by an authorised service
facility, unless otherwise indicated in this Instruction Manual.
15. Use only approved parts. When servicing, use only
identical replacement parts. Use an authorised service
facility to fit replacement parts.
