3)Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your fin- ger on the switch or plugging in the 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 may result in personal injury.

This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6)Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves 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 properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.

Any power tool that cannot be con- trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the pow- er tool accidentally.
4)Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not al- low persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Battery Tool Use and Care
1)Ensure the switch is in the off posi- tion before inserting battery pack.
Inserting battery pack into pow- er tools that have the switch on in- vites accidents.
