f)
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.

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.

tool safety principles.
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 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 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 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 dangerous 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 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 operations
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 (provided or optional) Use and Care
a)
Recharge only with the charger specified 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 contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
e)
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified.
Damaged or modified 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 outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range
may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
6) 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
b)
Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
