you are tired or under the infl u-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation. A moment of inattention white
operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equip-
ment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce per-
sonal injuries.
c) 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 fi nger on the switch or energising
power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the pow-
er tool on. A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This applies especially when
working on slopes. This enables
better control of the power tool in unex-
pected situations.
f) 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.
g) If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and prop-
erly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.

h) Do not allow yourself to be
lulled into a false feeling of se-
curity 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 within 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) Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or the bat-
tery pack from the power tool
before making any adjust
-ments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentaIly.
d) Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not al-
low persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of mov-
ing parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may af-
fect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
