f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD redu-
ces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation. A moment of inattention while oper-
ating power tools may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye pro-
tection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off position before plugging in. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch
or plugging in power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and ba-
lance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jew-
ellery 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 these devices can reduce dust
related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) 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 dan-
gerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories, or storing power tools. Such pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) 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 dan-
gerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tools operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc., in accordance with these instructions
and in the manner intended for the particular
type of power tool, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be perfor-
med. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in
a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
Special safety instructions.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire
will make exposed metal parts of the power tool
'"live" and shock the operator.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Hold-
ing the work by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Grasp the power tool in such a safe manner that
your body never comes into contact with the appli-
cation tool, especially while working with applica-
tion tools such as saw blades or other blades
pointed toward the grasping range. Touching
sharp tips or cutting edges can lead to injuries.
