mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropri-
ate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c Prevent unintentional
starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-posi-
tion before connecting to
power source and/or bat-
tery 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.
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 pow-
er tool may result in personal
injury.
e Do not overreach. Keep
proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. This ena-
bles better control of the
power tool in unexpected sit-
uations.
f Dress properly. Do not
wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving
parts.
g If devices are provided for
the connection of dust ex-
traction and collection fa-
cilities, ensure these are
connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related haz-
ards.
4 Power tool use and care
a Do not force the power
tool. Use the correct pow-
er tool for your applica-
tion. The correct power tool
will do the job better and saf-
er at the rate for which it was
designed.
b 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.
c Disconnect the plug from
the power source and/or
the battery pack from the
power tool before making
any adjustments, chang-
ing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preven-
tive 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 us-
ers.
