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. 

5)  Battery tool use and care 

a)   Recharge only with the charger specified by the 

manufacturer. 

A charger that is suitable for one type 

of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with 

another battery pack. 

b)   Use power tools only with specifically designated 

battery packs. 

Use of any other battery packs may 

create a risk of injury and fire. 

c)   When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from 

other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,
