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 protective 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 a power source and/or
battery 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. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from
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 vibration emission during actual use of
the power tool can differ from the declared
total value depending on the ways in which
the tool is used. Operators should identify
