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.
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 the battery pack 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. 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.
5) SERVICE
a)  Have your power tool serviced by a 
qualified repair person using only identical 
replacement parts. This will ensure that the 
safety of the power tool is maintained.
