Safety
■
Disconnect the plug from
the socket and/or remove
the battery before you make
adjustments to the appli-
ance, replace parts or put
the power tool away.
This
precautionary measure will
prevent the power tool from
starting inadvertently.
■
Keep unused power tools
out of the reach of children.
Do not allow people to use
the power tool if they are
not familiar with it or have
not read these instructions.
Power tools are dangerous if
they are used by inexperi-
enced people.
■
Look after power tools and
the insertion tool with care.
Check whether moving
parts function perfectly and
do not stick, whether there
are any broken parts or
parts that are damaged in
such a way that the function
of the power tool is im-
paired. Have damaged parts
repaired before using the
power tool.
Many accidents
are caused by failure to main-
tain power tools properly.
■
Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean.
Carefully main-
tained cutting tools with
sharper cutting edges are less
likely to stick and are easier to
control.
■
Use power tools, accessor-
ies, insertion tools, etc. ac-
cording to these instruc-
tions. When doing so, take
account of the working con-
ditions and the activity to
be undertaken.
Using power
tools for applications other
than the intended purpose
can result in dangerous situ-
ations.
■
Keep the grips and grip sur-
faces dry, clean and free
from oil and grease.
Slippery
grips and grip surfaces pre-
vent safe operation and con-
trol of the power tool in un-
foreseen situations.
3.4 Safety in the workplace
■
Keep your working area
clean, and make sure it is
well illuminated.
Untidiness
or dimly lit working areas can
lead to accidents.
■
Do not work with the power
tool in a potentially explos-
ive atmosphere with the
presence of flammable li-
quids, gases or dust.
Power
tools give rise to sparks that
can ignite the dust or vapours.
