f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
lery. 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 de-
signed.
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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source 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.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tools operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in
accordance with these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of power tool, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to
be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations differ-
ent from intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5)
Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING

a complete stop.
7.

General Safety Rules
WARNING!
Read all instructions Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1)
Work area
a) Keep work area clean and well lit
. Cluttered and dark
areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control
2)
Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carry-
ing, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suit-
able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
3)
Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon 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.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before plugging in.
Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
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.
