tention white operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protec-
tive 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.
Ensure the switch is in the off-po
-
sition 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 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 enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves 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 allow yourself to be lulled
into a false sense of security 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 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 con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the pow
-
er source and/or the battery pack
from the power tool before making
any adjust -ments, changing acces
-
sories, or storing power tools.
Such
preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool ac-
cidentaIly.
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 operate
the power tool.
Power tools are dan-
gerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less Iikely to
bind and are easier to control.
g) 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.
