protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-
position before connecting to the
power source and/or battery pack,
picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energizing
power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
• 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.
• Remove adjusting keys or
spanners before turning the tool
on. A spanner or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the
tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected
situations.
• Only use safety equipment
that has been approved by an
appropriate standards agency.
Unapproved safety equipment
may not provide adequate
protection.
Power tool use and care
• Do not force tools. Use the
correct tool for your application.
The correct tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for
which it is designed.
• Do not use a power tool if the
switch does not turn it on or
off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing
the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce risk of starting
the tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of
the reach of children and other
untrained persons. Power tools
are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
• Maintain tools with care. 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.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained tools
with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to
control.
• Use only accessories that
are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable
for one tool may become
hazardous when used on another
tool.
Battery tool use and care
• Ensure the switch is in the off
position before inserting the
battery pack. Insert the battery
