Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as a dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
•
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 charging power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
•
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.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
•
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.
•
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.

Power tool use and care
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
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 ope
ration. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use.
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 bind and are easier to control.
•
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
