b) Use personal protec-
tive equipment. Always
wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropri-
ate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional
starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-po-
sition 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 bal-
ance at all times. This
enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected
situations.
f) Dress properly. Do
not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and
gloves away from mov-
ing parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.

g) If dust extraction and
collection devices can
be installed, make sure
that these are connect-
ed and used correctly.
Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not allow yourself
to be lulled into a false
sense of security and
do not disregard the
safety rules for power
tools, even if you are
familiar with the power
tool after using it many
times. Careless action can
lead to serious injuries with-
in a fraction of a second.
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) Remove the plug from
the wall socket and/or
remove the recharge-
able battery before you
change the device's set-
tings, change accessory
parts or put away the
