1.2. PERSONAL SAFETY
9
S

under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
9
U
se personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
9
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 energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.

R
emove 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.
8
DO NOT
overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
9
D

long hair can be caught in moving parts.
8
DO NOT
let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless
action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
8
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.
8
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.
9
R
emove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.
9
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.

that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.

control.

the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
