3) Personal safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the infl uence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation. A moment of inattention while operat-
ing power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear safety
glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only
have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety
glasses.
• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off position before plugging in. Carrying
power tools with your fi nger on the switch or
plugging in power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
• 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.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance 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 moving parts. Loose clothes, jew-
ellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
• 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.
• Do not stand on tool or its stand. Serious injury
may occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool
is accidentally contacted. Do not store materials
on or near the tool such that it is necessary to
stand on the tool or its stand to reach them.
4) Tool use and care
• Secure workpiece. Use clamps or other practi-
cal way to secure and support the workpiece to
a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body is unstable. It allows for work
to shift, causes binding of the tool and loss of
control.
• 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 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 controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source be-
fore making any adjustments, changing acces-
sories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
• 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. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop-
erly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
• 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 a hazardous situ-
ation.
• Do not leave tool running unattended, turn
power off. Do not leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
• Keep handles dry, clean and free of oil and
grease. Slippery handles do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
5) Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical re-
placement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of un-
authorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
Instructions may create a hazard.
