of drugs, alcohol or medication. 

A moment of inattention while 
operating power tools may result 
in serious personal injury. 

b)  Use personal protective 

equipment. Always wear eye 

protection. 

Protective equipment 

such as dust mask, non-skid 
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing 
protection used for appropriate 
conditions will reduce personal 
injuries. 

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 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
