General Power Tool Safety Warnings

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 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 properly used� Use of dust collection 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 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) Service
  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.
