tion while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equip-
ment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as a dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. En-
sure 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 res-
ult 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 and clothing away from mov-
ing parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the con-
nection of dust extraction and col-
lection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use
of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from
frequent use of tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless ac-
tion can cause severe injury within a frac-
tion of a second.
4. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your ap-
plication. 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 remove the
battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such prevent-
ive safety measures reduce the risk of start-
ing 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 oper-
ate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessor-
ies. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts and any other con-
dition 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, taking in-
to 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 haz-
ardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping sur-
faces dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery handles and grasp-
ing surfaces do not allow for safe handling
and control of the tool in unexpected situ-
ations.
