ries, 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 situa-
tions.
■
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.
3.1.4 Safety in the workplace
■

well illuminated.
Untidiness
or dimly lit working areas can
lead to accidents.
■
Do not work with the power
tool in a potentially explo-

can ignite the dust or vapours.

Only use batteries in the
power tools that are intend-

Keep the unused recharge-
able battery away from pa-

screws or other small metal
objects that could short-cir-
cuit the contacts.
A short cir-
cuit between the rechargeable
battery contacts can result in
burns or fire.
■
Incorrect use can result in
fluid leaking out of the re-
chargeable battery. Avoid
coming into contact with it.
In case of inadvertent con-
tact, rinse off with water. If
the fluid gets into your
