•
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal in-
juries.
•
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
•
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.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
ellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from mov-
ing parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
•
If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
•
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles.
A careless action can cause severe in-
jury within a fraction of a second.
•
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the fastener
may contact hidden wiring
. Fasteners contacting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
Power tool use and care
•
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.
•
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.
•
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool be-
fore making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
•
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 dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
•
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool
’
s operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
•
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
•
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in ac-
cordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be per-
formed.
Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
•
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
Battery tool use and care
•
Recharge only with the charger specified by the man-
ufacturer
. A charger that is suitable for one type of bat-
tery pack may create a risk of fire when used with an-
other battery pack.
•
Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-
tery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
•
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal to another
.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns
or a fire.
•
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-
curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addi-
tionally seek medical help
. Liquid ejected from the bat-
tery may cause irritation or burns.
•
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified
. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or
risk of injury.
•
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or exces-
sive temperature
. Exposure to fire or temperature above
130 °C may cause explosion.
•
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions.
Charging improp-
erly or at temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
•
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.
•
Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of bat-
tery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer
or authorized service providers.
