IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
C. Prevent unintentional starting. Make sure that 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 energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
D. 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.
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 jewelry. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry,
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
G. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, make sure that these are connected and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
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 or OFF.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
C. Disconnect 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 operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
