• Use personal safety equipment. Wear safety glasses. Depending on the type of power tool and
how it is used, safety equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets and
ear protection reduce the risk of personal injury.
• Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the power tool is in the OFF position before plugging in the
cord and/or battery or lifting/carrying the tool. Carrying a power tool with your finger on the
switch, or connecting a tool to the mains when the switch is in the ON position, increases the risk
of accidents and injuries.
• Remove adjuster keys/spanners and other assembling tools before starting the power tool. Allen
keys, or the like, left in a rotating part of a power tool can cause personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm footing and good balance. This will ensure you have
better control over the tool in unexpected situations.
• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose-fitting clothing, jewellery and long hair can get
caught in moving parts.
• If dust extraction and dust collection equipment is available, this should be connected and used
correctly. The use of such devices can reduce the risk of dust-related problems.
Use and care
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for the planned work. The tool does the
job better and safer when used at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the tool if it cannot be switched on and off with the power switch. Power tools that
cannot be controlled with the power switch are dangerous and must be repaired.
• Unplug the power cord and/or remove the battery before making any adjustments, changing
accessories or putting the power tool away. These safety precautions reduce the risk of
accidentally starting the tool.
• Store power tools out of the reach of children when not in use. Never allow children, or anyone
who is unfamiliar with the power tool and these instructions, to use the tool. Power tools are
dangerous if used by inexperienced persons.
• Keep the power tool properly maintained. Check that moving parts are properly adjusted and do
not jam, and that no parts are incorrectly fitted or damaged. Check for other factors that could
affect functionality. If the power tool is damaged, it must be repaired before being used again.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
• Use power tools, accessories, and bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, with due
consideration to the actual working conditions and the work that is to be done. It can be
dangerous to use power tools for purposes other than those they are intended to be used for.
