tion used for appropriate condi-
tions will reduce personal injuries.
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 ener-
gising 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 at-
tached 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 situ-
ations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jew-
ellery 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 allow you
to become complacent and ig-
nore tool safety principles. 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
30
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 dan-
gerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or remove
the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before mak-
ing any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing 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 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.
e) Maintain power tools and ac-
cessories. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any oth-
er condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool re-
paired before use. Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly main-
tained 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 in-
