h)  Do not let familiarity gained from 
frequent use of tools allow you to 
become complacent and ignore tool 
safety principles. A careless action can 
cause severe injury 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 controlled with the switch 
is dangerous and must be repaired.
c)  Disconnect the plug from the power 
source and/or remove the battery pack, 
if detachable, from the power tool before 
making any adjustments, changing 
accessories, or storing power tools. Such 
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of 
starting the power tool accidentally.
d)  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.
e)  Maintain power tools and accessories. 
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.
f)  Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. 
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp 
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are 
easier to control.
g)  Use the power tool, accessories and 
tool bits etc., in accordance with these 
instructions taking into account the 
working conditions and the work to 
be performed. Use of the power tool for 
operations different from those intended 
could result in a hazardous situation.
h)  Keep handles and grasping surfaces 
dry, clean and free from oil and grease. 
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do 
not allow for safe handling and control of the 
tool in unexpected situations.
5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a)  Recharge only with the charger 
specified by the manufacturer. A charger 
the power tool. Keep cord away from 
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. 
Damaged or entangled cords increase the 
risk of electric shock.
e)  When operating a power tool outdoors, 
use an extension cord suitable for 
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for 
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric 
shock.
f)  If operating a power tool in a damp 
location is unavoidable, use a residual 
current device (RCD) protected supply. 
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric 
shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a)  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.
b)  Use personal protective equipment. 
Always wear eye protection. Protective 
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid 
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection 
used for appropriate conditions will reduce 
personal injuries.
c)  Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure 
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.
d)  Remove any adjusting key or wrench 
before turning the power tool on. A 
wrench or a key left attached 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.
