7. 

Use the right tool.

 

Do not force small tools or attachments to do the 
job of a heavy duty tool. Do not use tools for 
purposes not intended; for example, do not use 
circular saws to cut tree limbs or logs. 

8. 

Dress properly.

 

Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, they can 
be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and 
non-skid footwear are recommended when 
working outdoors. Wear protecting hair covering to 
contain long hair. 

9. 

Use safety glasses and hearing protection.

 

Also use face or dust mask if the cutting operation 
is dusty. 

10. 

Connect dust extraction equipment.

 

If devices are provided for the connection of dust 
extraction and collection facilities ensure these are 
connected and properly used. 

11. 

Do not abuse the cord.

 

Never carry the tool by the cord or yank it to 
disconnect it from the socket. Keep the cord away 
from heat, oil and sharp edges. 

12. 

Secure work.

 

Use clamps or a vice to hold the work. It is safer 
than using your hand and it frees both hands to 
operate the tool. 

13. 

Do not overreach.

 

Keep proper footing and balance at all times. 

14. 

Maintain tools with care.

 

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and 
safer performance. Follow instructions for 
lubrication and changing accessories. Inspect tool 
cord periodically and if damaged have it repaired 
by an authorized service facility. Inspect extension 
cords periodically and replace, if damaged. Keep 
handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. 

15. 

Disconnect tools.

 

When not in use, before servicing and when 
changing accessories such as blades, bits and 
cutters. 

16. 

Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.

 

Form the habit of checking to see that keys and 
adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool 
before turning it on. 

17. 

Avoid unintentional starting.

 

Do not carry a plugged-in tool with a finger on the 
switch. Ensure switch is off when plugging in. 

18. 

Use outdoor extension leads.

 

When tool is used outdoors, use only extension 
cords intended for outdoor use. 

19. 

Stay alert.

 

Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. 
Do not operate tool when you are tired. 

 
 

20. 

Check damaged parts.

 

Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part 
that is damaged should be carefully checked to 
determine that it will operate properly and perform 
its intended function. Check for alignment of 
moving parts, free running of moving parts, 
breakage of parts, mounting and any other 
conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or 
other part that is damaged should be properly 
repaired or replaced by an authorized service 
center unless otherwise indicated in this instruction 
manual. Have defective switches replaced by an 
authorized service facility. Do not use the tool if the 
switch does not turn it on and off. 

21. 

Warning.

 

The use of any accessory or attachment, other 
than those recommended in this instruction 
manual or the catalog, may present a risk of 
personal injury. 

22. 

Have your tool repaired by a qualified person.

 

This electric tool is in accordance with the relevant 
safety requirements. Repairs should only be 
carried out by qualified persons using original 
spare parts, otherwise this may result in 
considerable danger to the user.
