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. 

d)   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. 

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 devices are provided for the connection of 

dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure 

these are connected and properly used. 

Use of 

dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

h)   Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use 

of tools allow you to become complacent and 

ignore tool safety principles.

 A careless action can 

cause severe injury 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)   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.

c)   Disconnect the plug from the power source and/

or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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. 

d)   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. 

e)   Maintain power tools and accessories. Check 

for misalignment or binding of moving parts, 

breakage of parts and any other condition 

that may affect the power tool’s operation. If 

damaged, have the power tool repaired before 

use.

 Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained 

power tools. 

f)   Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. 

Properly 

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are 

less likely to bind and are easier to control. 

g)   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 

operations different from those intended could result in a 

hazardous situation. 

h)   Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean 

and free from oil and grease. 

Slippery handles and 

grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and 

control of the tool in unexpected situations.
