Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving

Power tool use and care
16.
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application.
The correct

rate for which it was designed.
17.
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.

accessories, or storing power tools.
Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.

etc. in accordance with these instructions and
in the manner intended for the particular type
of power tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use
