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 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 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 jewelery. 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 connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used.
Use of dust collec-
tion can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your applica-
tion.
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 mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use.
Many acci-
dents 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) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts.
This will
ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
Special safety instructions.
Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use a face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As appro-
priate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors,
gloves and workshop apron capable of stop-
ping small abrasive or work piece frag-
ments.
The eye protection must be capable
of stopping flying debris generated by vari-
ous operations. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtrating particles gener-
ated by your operation. Prolonged expo-
sure to high intensity noise may cause
hearing loss.
