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 (PPE). 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.
• 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.
