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 energising 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
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
• Environmental protection should be a
priority of considerable importance when
using the machine, for the benefit of both
social coexistence and the environment
in which we live. Try not to cause any
disturbance to the surrounding area.
