 Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Using safety equipment such as a dust

mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection whenever it is needed will
reduce the risk of personal injury.

 Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the plug.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools when the
switch is in the on position makes accidents more likely.

 Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on the power tool. A spanner or key

left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

 Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all times. This will enable you

retain control over the power tool in unexpected situations.

 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves

away from the power tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can become entangled in
the moving parts.

 If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection facilities, please ensure that

they are attached and used correctly. Using such devices can reduce dust-related
hazards.

Power tool use and care
 Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use the correct power tool for what you

want to do. A power tool will achieve better results and be safer if used in the context for
which it was designed.

 Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A power tool with a broken

switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

 Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.

 Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do not allow people who

are not familiar with the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are
potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

 Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or jammed moving parts, breakages or any

other feature that might affect the operation of the power tool. If it is damaged, the power
tool must be repaired. Many accidents are caused by using poorly maintained power tools.

 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting

edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.

 Use the power tool, accessories and cutting tools, 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 which needs to be done. Using a power tool in ways for
which it was not intended can lead to potentially hazardous situations.

Service
 Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare parts.

This will ensure that it meets the required safety standards.
