a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alco-
hol or medication. A moment of in-
attention white operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
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.
•
Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure 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.
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 the
•
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
•
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.
•
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.
•
Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or the battery
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 accidentaIly.
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 tool's operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
•
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less Iikely to
bind and are easier to control.
•
Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, 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.
•
Hold the power tool by insulated grip-
