tion. 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.

power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying
the tool.
power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.

loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose

c) Remove the plug from the wall
socket and/or remove the re-
chargeable battery before you
change the settings of the de-
vice, change accessory parts or
