3) PERSONAL SAFETY

a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when

operating a power tool. Do not use while you are tired or under the

influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention

while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Protective equipment such as dust mask, safety shoes, or hearing

protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c. 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.

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 proper footing and balance at all times. This

enables better control of the power tool in unexpected 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 extraction and

collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use

of dust collection can reduce dust-related 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 battery pack

from the power tool before making any adjustments, 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 tool or these instructions to operate the

power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained 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 tools.
