C) 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 safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. 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 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 these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
h) Only allow trained personnel to use the power tool. Apprentices may only operate the power tool when they
are over 16, when this is necessary for their training and when they are supervised by a trained operative.
D) 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 powertool 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 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 tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired by a qualified
expert or by an authorized DEMIRIZ after-sales service facility before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece. This is safer than holding it with your
hand, and also it frees both hands to operate the equipment.
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
performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. All
unauthorized modifications to the power tool are prohibited for safety reasons.
E) 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) Comply with maintenance instructions and instructions on tool replacements.
c) Check mains lead of power tool regularly and have it replaced by a qualified expert or an authorised DEMIRIZ
after-sales service facility in case of damage.
Check extension cable regularly and replace it when damaged.
