Personal safety
1 .
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 .
2 .
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 .
3 .
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 .

footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations .

clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts.

long hair can be caught in moving parts .

connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used.

of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards .
Power tool use and care
1 .
Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your

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 .

power source and / or the battery
pack 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 .
