Personal safety
CAUTION: How to avoid accidents
and injuries:
•
Stay alert, watch what you are do-
ing 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, alco-
hol or medication. A moment of inat-
tention white operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment.
•
Always wear eye protection. Protec-
tive equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropri-
ate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. En-
•
sure 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.
•
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.
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 jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from
106
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in mov-
ing parts.
•
If devices are provided for the con-
nection of dust extraction and col-
lection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use
of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Power tool use and care
•
Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your ap-
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.
Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
•
Disconnect the plug from the pow-
er source and/or the battery pack
from the power tool before making
any adjust -ments, changing acces-
sories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool ac-
cidentaIly.
Store idle power tools out of the
•
reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to oper-
ate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
Maintain power tools. Check for
•
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by
