• Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord for carrying, pulling or un-
plugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or en-
tangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
• When operating a power tool out-
doors, use an outdoor extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use
of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are do-
ing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Safety equip-
ment such as a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate con-
ditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position be-
fore plugging in. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch
or plugging in power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the tool
on. A wrench or a key that is left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power
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.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from mov-
ing parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
• If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities ensure that
these are connected and properly
used. Use of these devices can re-
duce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
• Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your ap-
plication. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the
power source before making any
adjustments, changing accesso-
ries, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool ac-
cidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not al-
low persons Unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
