Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
u
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 inat-
tention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
u
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.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-posi-
u
tion 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 acci-
dents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool
u
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
u
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
u
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 col-
u
lection 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
u
become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless ac-
tion can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your ap-
u
plication. 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 not turn it on and off.
u
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
