the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when
using a power tool can result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal safety equipment. Wear safety glasses.
• Depending on the type of power tool and how it is used, safety equipment
such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets and ear protection
reduce the risk of personal injury.
• Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the power tool is in the OFF position before
plugging in the cord and/or battery or lifting/carrying the tool. Carrying a power
tool with your finger on the switch, or connecting a tool to the mains when the
switch is in the ON position, increases the risk of accidents and injuries.
• Remove adjuster keys/spanners and other assembling tools before starting the
power tool. Allen keys, or the like, left in a rotating part of a power tool can
cause personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm footing and good balance. This will
ensure you have better control over the tool in unexpected situations.
• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose-fitting clothing,
jewellery and long hair can get caught in moving parts.
• If dust extraction and dust collection equipment is available, this should be
connected and used correctly. The use of such devices can reduce the risk of
dust-related problems.
Use and care
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for the planned work.
The tool does the job better and safer when used at the rate for which it
was designed.
• Do not use the tool if it cannot be switched on and off with the power switch.
Power tools that cannot be controlled with the power switch are dangerous
and must be repaired.
• Unplug the power cord and/or remove the battery before making any
adjustments, changing accessories or putting the power tool away. These
safety precautions reduce the risk of accidentally starting the tool.
• Store power tools out of the reach of children when not in use. Never allow
children, or anyone who is unfamiliar with the power tool and these instructions,
to use the tool. Power tools are dangerous if used by inexperienced persons.
• Keep the power tool properly maintained. Check that moving parts are properly
adjusted and do not jam, and that no parts are incorrectly fitted or damaged.
