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 influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation. A moment of inattention white
operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equip-
•
ment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce per-
sonal injuries.
•
Hold the power tool by insulated grip-
ping surfaces only, because the cutter
blade may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord.
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 energising
power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or
•
wrench before turning the pow-
er tool on. A wrench or a key 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 pow-
er 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, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
Power tool use and care
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 and/or the bat-
tery pack from the power tool
before making any adjust
-ments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentaIly.
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.
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.
