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 in-
vites 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 in-
jury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep prop-
er footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situ-
ations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair and clothing
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 prop-
erly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained
from frequent use of tools al-
low you to become complacent
and ignore tool safety prin-
ciples. 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 de-
signed.
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 detach-
able, from the power tool be-
fore making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or stor-
ing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of start-
ing 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 in-
structions to operate the power
tool. Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and ac-
cessories. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may
affect the power tool’s oper-
ation. 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 con-
ditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those inten-
