c) Prevent unintentional start-
ing. Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before connecting
to power source and/or bat-
tery pack, picking up or car-
rying 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 in-
jury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep prop-
er footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situ-
ations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair and clothing
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 prop-
erly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained
from frequent use of tools al-
low you to become compla-
cent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction
of a second.

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 de-
signed.
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 dan-
gerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or remove
the battery pack, if detach-
able, from the power tool be-
fore making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or stor-
ing power tools. Such prevent-
ive 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 and ac-
cessories. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may
affect the power tool's oper-
ation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
