SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
6.
Dress properly.
Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
7.
If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure that these are
connected and properly used.
Use of these
devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
USE AND CARE OF THE POWER
TOOLS
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 more safely at the rate for which it was
designed.
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.
3.
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.
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.
5.
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.
6.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
7.
Use the power tool, accessories, 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.
SERVICE
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.
