4.1.4.3.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure that the machine is switched OFF before
inserting the battery, picking up or carrying the power tool. Carrying the power tool with
your finger on the switch or fitting battery with the switch ON can cause accidents.
4.1.4.4.
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.
4.1.4.5.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
4.1.4.6.
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.
4.1.4.7.
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.
4.1.5.
Power tool use and care.
4.1.5.1.
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.
4.1.5.2.
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.
4.1.5.3.
Remove the battery from its compartment before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the power tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
4.1.5.4.
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.
4.1.5.5.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or obstruction 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.
4.1.5.6.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to become jammed and are easier to control.
4.1.5.7.
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.
Using the power tool for operations other than those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
4.1.6.
Service.
4.1.6.1.
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.
