tion of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from fre-
quent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety prin-
ciples. A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.
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 bet-
ter 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 adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or stor-
ing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) Keep power tools that are not in use out-
side the reach of children . Do not allow
persons handle power tools that are not
familiar with power tools or the relevant
instructions. Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other con-
dition 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.
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 oper-
ations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do
not allow for safe handling and control of
the tool in unexpected situations.
5 BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Recharge only with the charger speci-
fied 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.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
c) 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.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected from the battery; avoid con-
tact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irrita-
tions or burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modi-
fied batteries may exhibit unpredictable
behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure
to fire or temperature above 130 °C may
cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or tool out-
side the temperature range specified
in the instructions. Charging improperly
or at temperatures outside the specified
range may damage the battery and in-
crease the risk of fire.
