under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or med-
ication. A moment of inattention while operating

2. 
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye 
protection.Protectiveequipmentsuchasadustmask,

3. 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

that have the switch on invites accidents.
4. 
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning 
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a 
rotatingpartofthepowertoolmayresultinpersonalinjury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and 
balance at all times. This enables better control 
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or 
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away 
from moving parts.Looseclothes,jewelleryor
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. 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.
8. 
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use 
of tools allow you to become complacent and 
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can

9. Always wear protective goggles to protect 
your eyes from injury when using power tools.
The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in 
the USA, EN 166 in Europe, or AS/NZS 1336 
in Australia/New Zealand. In Australia/New 
Zealand, it is legally required to wear a face 
shield to protect your face, too.
It is an employer's responsibility to enforce 
the use of appropriate safety protective equip-
ments by the tool operators and by other per-
sons in the immediate working area.
Power tool use and care
1. 
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool 
for your application.Thecorrectpowertoolwilldothejob
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
2. 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.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source 
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 
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.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with 
the power tool or these instructions to operate 
the power tool.Powertoolsaredangerousinthe
hands of untrained users.
5. 
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for 
misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-
age 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.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges 
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits 
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and 
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool 
for operations different from those intended could 
result in a hazardous situation.
8. 
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean 
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles 
and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling 
and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work 
gloves which may be entangled. The entangle-
ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may 
resultinpersonalinjury.
Service
1. 
Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair 
person using only identical replacement parts. This 
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
2. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
Screwdriver safety warnings
1. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping 
surfaces, when performing an operation where 
the fastener may contact hidden wiring or its 
own cord. Fasteners contacting a "live" wire may 
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" 
and could give the operator an electric shock.
2. Always be sure you have a rm footing. 
Be sure no one is below when using the tool in 
high locations.
3. Hold the tool rmly.
4. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
5. Do not touch the bit or the workpiece immedi-
ately after operation; they may be extremely 
hot and could burn your skin.
6. Always secure workpiece in a vise or similar 
hold-down device.
