8. Dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, they
can be caught in moving parts. Rubber
gloves and non-skid footwear are recom-
mended when working outdoors. Wear pro-
tecting hair covering to contain long hair.
9. Use safety glasses and hearing protec-
tion.
Also use face or dust mask if the cutting
operation is dusty.

If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities ensure
these are connected and properly used.

Never carry the tool by the cord or yank it to
disconnect it from the socket. Keep the cord
away from heat, oil and sharp edges.

safer than using your hand and it frees both
hands to operate the tool.

Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. Maintain tools with care.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better
and safer performance. Follow instructions
for lubrication and changing accessories.

facility. Inspect extension cords periodically
and replace, if damaged. Keep handles dry,
clean and free from oil and grease.

When not in use, before servicing and when
changing accessories such as blades, bits
and cutters.

the switch. Ensure switch is off when plug-
ging in.

When tool is used outdoors, use only exten-
sion cords intended for outdoor use.

Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate tool when you are
tired.
20. Check damaged parts.
Before further use of the tool, a guard or
other part that is damaged should be care-
fully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function.

running of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorized service center
unless otherwise indicated in this instruction
manual. Have defective switches replaced by
an authorized service facility. Do not use the
tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
