RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
The purpose of safety rules is to attract your attention to possible
dangers. The safety symbols and the explanations with them,
require your careful attention and understanding. The safety
warnings do not by themselves eliminate any danger. The
instruction or warnings they give are not substitutes for proper
accident prevention measures.
10. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses
have only impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses.
11. PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a dust mask if operation is
dusty.
12. PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation.
SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL. Indicates caution or
warning. May be used in conjunction with other
symbols or pictures.
13. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. Do not use tool on a ladder or unstable support.
Secure tools when working at elevated levels.
WARNING: Failure to obey a safety warning can
result in serious injury to yourself or to others.
Always follow the safety precautions to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean
for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.
15. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form a
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches
are removed from tool before turning it on.
WARNING: Do not attempt to operate this tool until
you have read thoroughly and understood
completely, safety rules, etc. contained in this
manual. Failure to comply can result in accidents
involving fire, electric shock or serious personal
injury. Save owners manual and review frequently
for continuing safe operation and instructing others
who may use this tool.
16. NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE. Normal
sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.
17. KEEP HANDLES DRY, CLEAN AND FREE FROM OIL AND
GREASE. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never
use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum based products, or any
strong solvents to clean your tool.
The operation of any tool can result in
foreign objects being thrown into your
eyes, which can result in severe eye
damage. Before beginning power tool
operation, always wear safety goggles
or safety glasses with side shields and
a full face shield when needed. We recommend Wide Vision
Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety
glasses with side shields.
18. STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL. Watch what you
are doing and use common sense. Do not operate tool when
you are tired. Do not rush operation of tool.
19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool,
a guard or any other part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and
any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or
any other part that is damaged should be properly repaired
or replaced by an authorised service centre.
1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read owners manual carefully.
Learn its applications and limitations as well as the specific
potential hazards related to this tool.
20. DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT ON
AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced by authorised
service centre.
2. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK BY PREVENTING
BODY CONTACT WITH GROUNDED SURFACES. For
example, pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
21. DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL WHILE UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL OR ANY
MEDICATION.
3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents.
22. THE APPLIANCE IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE BY YOUNG
OR INFIRM PERSONS WITHOUT SUPERVISION. YOUNG
CHILDREN SHOULD BE SUPERVISED TO ENSURE THAT
THEY DO NOT PLAY WITH THE APPLIANCE.
4. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools
in damp or wet locations or expose to rain. Keep work area
well lit.
5. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. Visitors should
wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance from work
area. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
6. STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored
in a dry and high or locked-up place, out of reach of children.
7. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at
the rate at which it was designed.
Due to continued product
refinement policy, product features
and specifications can and will
change without notice. Check
current features and specifications
with your retailer.
8. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or attachment to
do the job of a heavy duty tool. Don't use tool for purpose not
intended.
9. DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Also
wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
