3) PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you
are doing and use common
sense when operating a pow-
er tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication.
A mo-
ment of inattention white oper-
ating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective
equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Protective equip-
ment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for ap-
propriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional start-
ing. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before con
-
necting 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 in-
vites 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 re-
sult in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep
proper footing and balance
at all times.
This enables bet-
ter 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 ex-
traction and collection facili-
ties, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can re-
duce dust-related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• Do not force the power tool.
Use the correct power tool
for your application.
The cor-
rect power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
• 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.
• Disconnect the plug from
the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power
tool before making any adjust
-ments, changing accesso-
ries, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety meas-
ures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentaIly.
• 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 un-
trained users.
