If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable,
use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.
Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) PERSOnAL SAFETy
CAUTION! The following states how
to avoid accidents and injuries:
a)
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 influ
-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation.
A moment of inattention white
operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b)
Use personal protective equip-
ment. Always wear eye protec-
tion.
Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appro-
priate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c)
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 pow
-
er tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d)
Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the pow-
er tool on.
A wrench or a key left at-
tached 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.
f)
Dress properly. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair and clothing away
from moving parts.
Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g)
If dust extraction and collection
devices can be installed, make
sure that these are connected
and used correctly.
Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related haz-
ards.
h) Do not allow yourself to be
lulled into a false sense of se-
curity and do not disregard the
safety rules for power tools,
even if you are familiar with the
power tool after using it many
times.
Careless action can lead to
serious injuries within a fraction of a
second.
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 designed.
b)

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)
Remove the plug from the wall
socket and/or remove the re-
chargeable battery before you
change the device’s settings,
change accessory parts or put
away the power tool.
Such pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk
