c) 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 power tools with your finger on the switch
or energising power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
en
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn-
ing the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached
to a rotating part of the power tool may result in per-
sonal 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 jew-
ellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves 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 col-
lection can reduce dust-related hazards.
5.1.4 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
the battery pack 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. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool's oper-
ation. 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 main-
tained 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 dif-
ferent from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
5.1.5 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This

will ensure that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.
5.2 Hammer safety warnings
a) Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
b) Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
c) Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cut-
ting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
5.3 Specific safety rules
5.3.1 Electrical safety
a) Always lead the suppy cord and extension cord away
to the rear. This avoids tripping and falling when
working.
b) Check the area in which you are working before
hand (e.g. using a metal detector) and make sure
that there are no live electric cables located in the
working area. External metal parts of the machine
may become live, for example when an electric cable
is damaged inadvertently.
c) Check the condition of the extension cord and replace
it if damage is found.
5.3.2 Work area
a)Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated.
b)WARNING: Some dust created by grinding, sanding,
cutting and drilling contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects, infertility or other repro-
ductive harm; or serious and permanent respiratory
or other injury. Some examples of these chemicals
are: lead from leadbased paints, crystalline silica from
bricks, concrete and other masonry products and nat-
ural stone, arsenic and chromium from chemical-
lytreated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce exposure to these chemicals, the operator
and bystanders should work in a well-ventilated area,
work with approved safety equipment, such as res-
piratory protection appropriate for the type of dust
generated, and designed to filter out microscopic
particles and direct dust away from the face and body.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust. Wear protective
clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and
water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or
to remain on your skin may promote absorption of
harmful chemicals.
c)The tool is not intended for use by children, by debil-
itated persons or those who have received no instruc-
tion or training.
d) Children must be instructed not to play with the tool.
