Getting

 started...

4.  

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.

5.  

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance 

at all times.

 

This enables better control of the power tool 

in unexpected situations.

6.  

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or 

jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from 

moving parts.

 

Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can 

be caught in moving parts.

7.  

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.

8.  

Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of 

tools allow you to become complacent and ignore 

tool safety principles. 

A careless action can cause 

severe injury within a fraction of a second.

Power tool use and care

1.  

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.

2.  

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.

3.  

Disconnect the plug from the power source and/ 

or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.

4.  

Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and 

do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool
