15.
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.
16.
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.
17.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles.
A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
18.
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.
19.
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.
20.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the pow-
er tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
21.
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.
22.
Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
23.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
24.
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.
25.
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.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
26.
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.
27.
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
28.
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.
29.
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.
30.
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.
31.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or temperature
above 130 °C may cause explosion.
