have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses. Also, use face or dust mask if application is dusty and ear protectors
during all operations.
Sound levels. Some types of machines may have high sound levels when working. In such cases ear protection must be worn.
Vibration levels. Hand held power tools produce different vibration levels. You should always refer to the specifications and
the relevant Health and Safety guidelines.
Dust extraction. If your tool is fitted with a dust extraction facility, always ensure that it is connected and being used with a
dust extractor. Vacuum cleaners can be used if suitable for the material being extracted.
Check damaged parts. Before use, any blade guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine
that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, free running of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part
that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorised service centre unless otherwise indicated in this
instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by an authorised service centre. Do not use the tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off.
