2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a garden power tool. Do not use a garden power tool while
you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating garden 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 o-position
before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger 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.
