= 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 have the switch on invites accidents.
= Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or 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 be caught in moving parts.
,, If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and col-
lection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of
these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
o Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the work-
piece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid sur-
face enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
= Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery hands can
not safely control the power tool.
• Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday glasses have only
impact resistant ienses. They are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of eye injury.
• Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty. Fol-
lowing this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
• Protect your hearing, Wear hearing protection during extended periods of
operation. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious person injury.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your appli-
cation. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designated.
• 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.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the batter 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.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow per-
sons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
