Personal Safety

1. 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 medication. A moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

2. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety

equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard

hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will

reduce personal injuries.

3. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-

position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your

finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the

switch on invites accidents.

4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the

tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating

part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at

all times. This enables better control of the power tool in

unexpected situations.

6. 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.

7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities ensure that these are

connected and properly used. Use of these devices can

reduce dust-related hazards.

Power Tool Use and Care

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Disconnect the plug from the power source before

making any adjustments, changing accessories, or

storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures

reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

4. 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 users.

5. 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 poorly maintained power tools.

6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained

cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind

and are easier to control.

7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in

accordance with these instructions and in the manner

intended for the particular type of power tool, taking

into account the working conditions and the work to be

performed. Use of the power tool for operations different

from intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Service

1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair

personnel using only identical replacement parts. This

will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
