• Use personal safety equipment. Always wear safety glasses. Depending on the type of 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. Check that the power switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the
power cord and/or the battery, or lifting/carrying the tool.
• Carrying a tool with your finger on the switch, or connecting a tool to the mains supply when the
switch is in the ON position, increases the risk of accidents and injuries.
• Remove Allen keys/spanners etc. before starting the power tool. Spanners or the like that are left in a
rotating part of the 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 equipment can reduce the risk of dust-related problems.
USING AND LOOKING AFTER POWER TOOLS
• 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 accidently
starting the power 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 the power tool, accessories and bits etc., in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account 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.
