g)
If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power Tool Use & 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 if used
at the rate for which it was designed.
b)
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.
c)
Disconnect the plug from the power
source 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
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e)
Maintain power tools.
Check for
misalignment 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.
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.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and
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) Have your power tool serviced by
a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts.
This electric
tool complies with the relevant safety rules.
Repairs should only be carried out by qualified
persons using original spare parts, otherwise
considerable danger to the user may result.
b) When servicing a tool, use only genuine
Evolution replacement parts.
Follow
instructions in the Maintenance section of this
manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to
follow Maintenance Instructions may create a
risk of electric shock or injury.
HEALTH ADVICE

prejudicial to your health. Some examples
could be:
• Lead from lead based paint.
• Arsenic and Chromium from chemically
treated timber.
• Crystalline silica from certain masonry
products (plaster, cement etc).
To reduce your exposure to such
chemicals you should:
a)
Work in a well-ventilated area.
b)
Work with approved safety equipment,
such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter microscopic particles.
