A tool
or spanner left attached to a rotating part of a
device can lead to injury.

Loose clothing, jewellery or long
hair can become trapped in moving parts.

If vacuum dust extraction and collection
devices are fitted do not forget to check
that they are properly connected and
correctly used.
The use of these devices
reduces the hazard presented by dust.
4. Careful handling and use
of electrical power tools
a)
Do not overload the device. Always
use an electrical power tool that is
intended for the task you are under-
taking.
By using the right electrical power
tool for the job you will work more safely and
achieve a better result.
b)
Do not use an electrical power tool if
its switch is defective.
An electrical power
tool that can no longer be switched on and off
is dangerous and must be repaired.
c)
Pull the mains plug out of the socket

the device, change accessories or when
the device is put away.
This precaution is
intended to prevent you from unintentionally
starting the device.
d)
When not in use always ensure that
electrical power tools are kept out of
reach of children. Do not let anyone
use the device if he or she is not famil-
iar with it or has not read the instruc-
tions and advice.
Electrical power tools are
dangerous when they are used by inexperienced
people.
e)
Look after the device carefully. Check
that moving parts are working prop-
erly and move freely. Check for any
parts that are broken or damaged
enough to detrimentally affect the
functioning of the device. Have dam-
aged parts repaired before you use the
device.
Many accidents have their origins in
poorly maintained electrical power tools.
f)
Keep cutting tools clean and sharp.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to jam and are
easier to control.
g)
Use the electrical power tool, accesso-
ries, inserted tools etc. in accordance
with these instructions and advice,
and the stipulations drawn up for this
particular type of device. In doing
this, take into account the working

The
use of electrical power tools for purposes other
than those intended can lead to dangerous
situations.
