3) Personal safety
a) Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch 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. Always keep proper footing and balance. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory,
or metal capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
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 feed 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 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 untrained users.
e) Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tools 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 edges are less likely
to bind or kick back and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories, and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations other than those intended and designed for could result in
a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
