GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

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.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your electric (corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordless) power tool.

1. Work area safety
   a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
   b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools  create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
   c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety
   a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
   b) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
   c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
   d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
   e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
   f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces 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 medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools 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 before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising 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 balance 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, jewellery 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.

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 dangerous and must be repaired.
   c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive 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 dangerous 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 tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents 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, takin into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. 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 replacement
   parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
   b) If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the
   manufacturer or its agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.

6. Battery Tool Use and Care
   a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
   b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury or fire.
   c) When Battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal object that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
   d) User abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; Avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with copious amounts of water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek medical help immediately. Liquid ejected from the batter may cause irritation or burns.

7. Additional Safety and Working
   Instructions
   a) Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings, some wood types, minerals and metals can be harmful to one’s health and cause allergic reactions, leading to respiratory infections and/or cancer. Materials containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists. Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the materials to be worked.
   b) Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can easily ignite.

8. Additional Safety Warning for Band
   Saws
   a) Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down. An exposed rotating cutter may   engage the surface leading to possible loss of control and serious injury.
   b) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter may contact its own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
   c) Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding the work by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
   d) Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock.
   e) Do not reach into the saw dust ejector with your hands. They could be injured by rotating parts.
   f) Apply the machine to the work piece only when switched on. Otherwise there is danger of kickback when the cutting tool jams in the work piece.
   g) When working, always hold the planer in such a manner that the planer base plate faces flat on the work piece. Otherwise the planer can become wedged and lead to injuries.
   h) Never plane over metal objects nails or screws. The planer blade and the blade shaft can become damaged and lead to increased vibrations.

9. Using an Extension Cable.
   a) If an extension cable is required, use an approved triple core extension cable suitable for the power input of the tool.
   b) Grounded tools always require a three wire extension cable.
   c) As the distance from the supply outlet increases you must use a heavier gauge extension cable. Using extension cables with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.
   d) The smaller the gauge number of the wire the greater the capacity of the cord.
   e) When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.
