f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-

ing 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 these devices can reduce dust re-

lated hazards.

4) Tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-

rect power tool for your application. The cor-

rect 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 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 power tool or these instructions to

operate the power tool. Power tools are dan-

gerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-

ment or binding of moving parts, breakage

of parts and any other condition that may af-

fect 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 and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool

bits etc., in accordance with these instruc-

tions and in the manner intended for the

particular type of power tool, taking 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.

5) Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a quali-

fi ed repair person using only identical re-

placement parts. This will ensure that the safety

of the power tool is maintained.

Specifi c Safety Rules

a) Hold the tool only by insulated gripping

surfaces when performing an operation

where the cutting tool may contact hidden

wiring or its own power cord. Contact with a

“live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the

tool “live” and shock the operator.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY,

USER MUST READ AND UNDERSTAND IN-

STRUCTION MANUAL.

Various dust created by power sand-

ing, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construc-

tion activities contains chemicals known (to the

State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects

or other reproductive harm. Some examples of

these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and

other masonry products,

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated

lumber.

The risk from these exposures varies, depending

on how often you do this type of work.

To reduce your exposure to these

chemicals work in a well ventilated

area and use approved safety equip-

ment, such as dust masks that are

specially designed to fi lter out micro-

scopic particles.
