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
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.

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

dangerous 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 likely 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.

Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

a)

Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. 

A charger that is suitable for one type of

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

a)

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.

b)

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.

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 finger on the switch or energizing 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 attached 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 jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. 

Loose clothes, jewelry 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 properly used. 

Use of dust collection can

reduce dust-related hazards.
