Personal safety
a. 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 med-
ication.
A moment of carelessness when using electrical
tools can result in serious injuries.
Use personal protective equipment. Always
b.
wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce per-
sonal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to 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.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on.
A tool or spanner that is located in a rotating de-
vice part may result in injuries.
Do not overreach.
e.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unex-
pected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
Rubber gloves and anti-slip footwear are recom-
mended when working outdoors.
Tie long hair back in a hair net.
g. If dust extraction and collection devices can
be mounted, make sure that they are connect-
ed and used properly. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
h. 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.
Power tool use and care
a. Do not overload the device.
Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does
b.
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that can-
not be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing pow-
er tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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 users.
Unused power tools should be stored in a dry, el-
evated or closed location out of the reach of chil-
dren.
Maintain power tools and accessories.
e.
Check whether moving parts function properly and
do not get stuck and whether parts are broken or
are damaged and thus adversely affect the electric
tool function. If damaged, have the power tool re-
paired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f. 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
g.
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for op-
erations different from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
h.
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
