you are tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medica-
tion. A moment of inattention white op-
erating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equip-
ment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appro-
priate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-po-
sition 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 wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
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 extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
h) Do not allow yourself to be lulled
into a false sense of security and
do not disregard the safety rules
for power tools, even if you are
familiar with the power tool af-
ter using it many times. Careless
action can lead to serious injuries within
a fraction of a second.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. 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.
b) Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and
off. Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled 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 be-
fore making any adjust-ments,
changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentaIly.
d) Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not al-
low persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of un-
trained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of mov-
ing parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may af-
fect the power tool's operation.
If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
