conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in power tools that are
switches on invite accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
switching on the power tool. 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, 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 ex-traction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce dust
related hazards.
h) Use ear protectors. Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
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.
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 can
cause injuries 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 tools operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. 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 and in the manner intended
for the particular type of power tool, 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 injuries.
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 maintained.
