WARNING: Always wear ear protection where the sound level exceeds
85dB(A) and limit the time of exposure if necessary. If sound levels are
uncomfortable, even with ear protection, stop using the tool immediately
and check the ear protection is correctly fitted and provides the correct level
of sound attenuation for the level of sound produced by your tool.
WARNING: User exposure to tool vibration can result in loss of sense of
touch, numbness, tingling and reduced ability to grip. Long term exposure
can lead to a chronic condition. If necessary, limit the length of time
exposed to vibration and use anti-vibration gloves. Do not operate the tool
with hands below a normal comfortable temperature, as vibration will have
a greater effect. Use the figures provided in the specification relating to
vibration to calculate the duration and frequency of operating the tool.
Sound and vibration levels in the specification are determined according
to EN60745 or similar international standards. The figures represent
normal use for the tool in normal working conditions. A poorly maintained,
incorrectly assembled, or misused tool, may produce increased levels of
noise and vibration. www.osha.europa.eu provides information on sound
and vibration levels in the workplace that may be useful to domestic users
who use tools for long periods of time.
General Safety
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury.
WARNING: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced, physical or mental capabilities or lack of experience
or knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
1) Work Area Safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
b) Do not operate tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a powered
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Personal Safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a powered tool. Do not use a powered tool while you
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating a powered tool may result in
serious personal injury.
b) 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.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position
when not operating the tool and make use of other safety features
which prevent unintentional starting.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the powered
tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the tool
may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry 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 dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
WARNING: User exposure to tool vibration can result in loss of sense of
touch, numbness, tingling and reduced ability to grip. Long term exposure
can lead to a chronic condition. If necessary limit the length of time exposed
to vibration. Use the figures provided in the specification relating to vibration
if provided to calculate the duration and frequency of operating the tool.
The 2002/44/EC directive relating to vibration in the workplace may provide
useful information even for domestic use of tools. In the first instance of
feeling uncomfortable due to vibration STOP using the tool immediately.
WARNING: Always wear ear protection where the sound level exceeds
85dB(A) and limit the time of exposure if necessary. If sound levels are
uncomfortable even with ear protection stop using the tool immediately and
check the ear protection is correctly fitted and provides the right level of
sound attenuation for the level of sound produced by your tool.
3) Tool use and care
a) Maintain tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
b) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
c) Use the tool’s accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with
these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
4) Service
a) Have your tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the tool
is maintained.
