Personal Safety
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a tool. Do not use
a tool while you are tired or under the influences of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention, while operating tools may result in serious personal injury.
•
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment. Such as
a 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 tools with a finger on the
switch or emerging power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
•
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key left attached
to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
•
Do not overreach. Always maintain proper footing and balance. This will enable better control of
the tool in unexpected situations.
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
•
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of dust can reduce dust-related hazards.

or these instructions to operate the power tool. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
•
Maintain tools. Check for misalignment binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service

Have your tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
