Carrying power tools with your finger
on the switch or energizing power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool ON.
A wrench or a key left attached to a ro-
tating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach . Keep proper foot -
ing and balance at all times. This en -
ables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly.
Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for the connec -
tion of dust extraction and collection fa -
cilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used. Use of these devices can
reduce dust-related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for mis -
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other con -
dition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many acci -
dents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. In accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for op -
erations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
VIBRATION SAFETY
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated
or long-term exposure to vibration may
cause temporary or permanent physical
injury, particularly to the hands, arms
and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vi-
bration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly
or for an extended period should first
be examined by a doctor and then have
regular medical check-ups to ensure
medical problems are not being caused
or worsened from use.
2. Pregnant women
or people who have
impaired blood circulation to the hand,
past hand injuries, nervous system dis -
orders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease
should not use this tool. If you feel any
medical or physical symptoms related
to vibration (such as tingling, numb -
ness, and white or blue fingers), seek
medical advice as soon as possible.
3. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine
may reduce the blood supply to the
hands and fingers, increasing the risk of
vibration-related injury.
