when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influ

ence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation.
A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
•
Use personal protective equip-

hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.

This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.

your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
