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
if 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 safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before
plugging in. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or plugging in power
tools that are switches on invite accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before switching on the power tool. 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
these devices can reduce dust-related
hazards.
h) Wear ear protectors with impact drills.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
i) Use auxiliary handles supplied with the
tool. Loss of control can cause personal
injury.
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.
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 can cause injuries 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 tools
operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. 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 and in the manner intended
for the particular type of power tool,
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 injuries.
5. Battery tool use and care
a) Ensure the switch is in the off position
before inserting battery pack. Inserting the
battery pack into power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
b) Recharge only with the charger
specified by the manufacturer. A charger
that is suitable for one type of battery pack
may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
c) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
