Use personal protective equipment. Al-
ways wear eye protection. Protective equip-
ment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before con-
necting to power source and / or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carry-
ing power tools with your finger on the switch
or energizing power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench be-
fore 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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better con-
trol of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
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.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-
rect power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
The guard provided with the tool must be
securely attached to the power tool and po-
sitioned for maximum safety, so the least
amount of wheel is exposed towards the

The guard helps to protect operator from bro-
ken wheel fragments and accidental contact
with wheel.

accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfa-
miliar with the power tool or these instruc-
tions to operate the power tool. Power tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained us-
ers.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool's operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop-
erly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instruc-
tions, taking into account the working con-
ditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.

fied repair person using only identical re-
placement parts. This will ensure that the
