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.

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 these devices
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.

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.

breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
