PERSONAL SAFETY

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

inattention while operating power tools can result in personal injury.

2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye and ear protection.

Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,

or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal

injuries.

3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before

connecting to power source, 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.

4. 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 can

result in personal injury.

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 correctly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, and

clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or 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 correctly used. Use of dust

collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

1. 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.

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 before making any

adjustments, 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 children and do not let persons

unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power

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

5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts and any other condition that can affect the power tool's
