Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
Use
personal
protective
equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-
position before connecting to
power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the
tool.Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energizing
power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
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.
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.
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.
Power tool use and care
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.
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.
Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or the battery
pack 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.
