f)
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
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.
Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
5.1.4 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.
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 ac-
cessories, or storing power tools.
Such prevent-
ive 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.
5.1.5 Battery tool use and care
a)
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack.
b)
Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
c)
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.
d)
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejec-
ted from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.
5.1.6 Service
a)
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 maintained.
5.2 Additional safety rules
5.2.1 Battery tool use and care
a)
Ensure the switch is in the off position before
inserting battery pack.
Inserting the battery pack
into power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
b)
Do not expose batteries to high temperatures or
fire.
This presents a risk of explosion.
c)
Do not open up, dismantle, squash or incinerate
batteries and do not expose them to temperat-
ures over 100°C.
A risk of fire, explosion or injury
through contact with caustic substances may oth-
erwise result.
d)
Avoid ingress of dampness.
Dampness may cause
a short circuit resulting in a risk of burning injury
or fire.
e)
Do not use batteries other than those approved
for use with the applicable tool or appliance.
Use of other batteries or use of the battery for
purposes for which it is not intended presents a
risk of fire and explosion.
f)
Observe the special instructions applicable to the
transport, storage and use of Li-ion batteries.
g)
Avoid short-circuiting the battery.
Before insert-
ing the battery in the tool, check that the terminals
of the battery and the tool are free from for-
eign objects. Short-circuiting the battery terminals
