personal injury.
b) Use personal protective
equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equip-
ment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for ap-
propriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before connecting
to power source and/or bat-
tery pack, picking up or car-
rying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your fi nger on the
switch or energizing 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 pro-
per footing and balance at all
times. This enables better con-
trol of the power tool in unex-
pected 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 extrac-
tion and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-relat-
ed hazards.

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 at the rate for which it
was designed.
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 dangerous and must
be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or the bat-
tery pack from the power tool
before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of
the reach of children 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 un-
trained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check
for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition
that may affect the power
tool's operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting
