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 properly
used.

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 designed.

does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.

and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.
Such
preventive 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

breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use.

f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.

tool bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions taking into account the
working conditions and the work to
be performed.
Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5. Service

a quali fi ed repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure
