PERSONAL SAFETY
■ Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
■ Use personal
equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment
such as dust 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
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.
■ Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before 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.
■ Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
■ Dress properly. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair and clothing away from
moving parts.
jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.

are connected and properly used.

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.

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.
Do not use the power tool if the

off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
■ Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or remove the
battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making
any adjustments,
accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive
measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
■ 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
