plugging in power tools when the switch is in the on position makes
accidents more likely.
Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on the power tool.
A spanner or key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all times.
This will enable you retain control over the power tool in unexpected
situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from the power tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can become entangled in the moving parts.
If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection facilities,
please ensure that they are attached and used correctly. Using such
devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

Power tool use and care
Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use the correct
power tool for what you want to do. A power tool will achieve better results
and be safer if used in the context for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A power
tool with a broken switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do not
allow people who are not familiar with the power tool or these instructions
to operate it. Power tools are potentially dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
Maintenance. Check for misalignment or jammed moving parts,
breakages or any other feature that might affect the operation of the
power tool. If it is damaged, the power tool must be repaired. Many
accidents are caused by using 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 cutting tools, etc., in accordance
