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 connect-
ing to power source and/
or battery pack, picking up
or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your fi nger on
the switch or energizing 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 rotat-
ing part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep pro-
per 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 extrac-
tion and collection facilities,
ensure these are connect-
ed 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 cor-
rect 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 bat-
tery pack from the power tool
before making any adjust-
ments, 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 unfa-
miliar 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 main-
tained power tools.
f)
Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting
