tection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c)
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before plugging in.
Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or
plugging in power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d)
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 injury.
e)
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times.
This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
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 these
devices 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
tools 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 and
in the manner intended for the particular type
of power tool, 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)
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)
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.
c)
Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
d)
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.
e)
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.
Liquids ejected from the battery may cause irrita-
tion 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 precautions
