b)
Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c)
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or energising
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
balance 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, jew-
ellery 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.
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 can-
not 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 dan-
gerous 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 acci-
dents 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 will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
Appliance-specific safety instructions
for hammers
■
Wear hearing protection.
The effect
of noise can lead to hearing loss.
■
Use the additional handles supplied with the
appliance.
Loss of control can lead to injuries.
■
Hold the appliance by the insulated handles
when you are carrying out work during which
the deployed tool may come into contact with
concealed power cables or its own power
cable.
Contact with a "live" wire may make ex-
posed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
■
Wear a dust mask.
