PERSONAL SAFETY
• Always be sure to pay close attention to what you are doing when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool when 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 protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Under the
appropriate condition, protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection can reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Make sure the switch is in the off-position before
picking up or carrying the tool or connecting the unit to a power source/battery
pack. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools
that have the switch on may lead to 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 jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair, can get caught in
moving parts resulting in serious injury.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do a better and safer job when used for its designed purpose.
• Do not use the power tool if the on/off switch is malfunctioning. 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 the battery pack from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
This helps reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children . Do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool to operate it without first reading these instructions. Power tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Properly 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.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories, and tool bits, etc. by following these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of
the power tool for operations different from those intended could create a hazardous
situation.
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the power tool is properly and safely
maintained.
