Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Safety equipment 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
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.
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
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.
If devices are provided for connecting dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust related
hazards.
Power tool use and care
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
offposition
before
Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
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 unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tools operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions and
in the manner intended for the particular type
of power tool, taking into 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 hazardous
situation.
Careful handling and use of cordless
devices
Recharge only using the charger recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of battery
pack may result in risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
Use
power
tools
only with
designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create risk of
injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects that can cause a bridging of contacts.
