3) Personal safety
a) Always pay attention to what you do and
apply reasonable care when working with a
power tool. Do not use the power tool when
you are tired or under the influence of med-
ication, drugs or alcohol. When working with
power tools, even a short moment of inatten-
tiveness may result in severe injury.
b) Wear personal protection equipment and
always wear eye protection (safety gog-
gles). Wearing personal protection equip-
ment as a dust mask, nonslip safety shoes,
safety helmet or ear protectors (depending on
the type and application of the tool) reduces
the risk of injury.
c) Avoid unintentional operation. Make sure
that the power tool is switched off before
you connect it to the mains supply and/or
the battery and whenever you pick up or
carry the tool. When carrying the tool with
your finger on the on/off switch or connecting
the tool to the mains supply with the switch
in 'ON' position, this may result in accidents.
d) Remove adjustment tools or wrenches and
the like before you switch the power tool
on. A wrench or other tool that is inside or on
a rotating part of the tool may cause injury.
e) Avoid unusual postures. Make sure to
have a safe footing and keep your balance
at all times. This will allow you to better con-
trol the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothes. Do not wear wide
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothes and gloves clear of all moving
parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair
may get caught in moving parts.
g) If dust extraction/collection devices are
provided make sure that they are connect-
ed and used properly. The use of a dust
extraction device may reduce risks caused
by dust.
4) Use and handling of the power tool
a) Do not overtax the power tool. Use the
power tool intended for your type of work
in each case. The use of the suitable power
tool within the stated range of performance
makes working more effective and safer.
b) Do not use a power tool with a damaged
switch. A power tool that cannot be switched
on or off any more is dangerous and must be
repaired.

used out of the reach of children. Do not
allow persons to use the tool if they are
not familiar with the tool or these instruc-
tions. Power tools are dangerous if used by
inexperienced persons.
Check whether moving parts are working
properly and are not jamming/sticking,
and whether parts are broken or other-
wise damaged in a way that may affect the
function of the power tool. Have damaged
parts repaired before using the tool. Many
accidents are the result of poorly maintained
power tools.

cutting edges are jamming less often and are
easier to guide.
