to a rotating part of the machine
may result in personal injury .
e) Do not lean out. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This ensures better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress appropriately. Do not wear
loose clothes or jewellery. Keep
hair and clothing away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices have to be connected to
powder extraction and collection
systems, make sure they are
connected and used appropriately.
Using these devices may reduce
powder-related hazards.
h) Do not allow familiarity acquired
while using the machine to become
complacent and ignore the safety
principles of the power tool. A
careless action can cause severe
injury in a fraction of a second.
4) Using and looking after power tools
a) Do not over- charge the power tool.
Use a power tool appropriate for the
task in question. The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at
the speed 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) Do not use the machine if the key
ignition switch does not turn it
on and off. A machine which cannot
be controlled with the key switch is
dangerous and must be repaired at
an Authorised Service Centre.
d) Remove the ignition key before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or before putting the
power tool away. These preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of
accidental start-up of the power tool.
e) Store unused power tools out of the
reach of children and do not allow
persons who are not familiar with using
the machine and these instructions
to use it. Power tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
f) Ensure regular maintenance of power
tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect power
tool operation. In case of damage,
the power tool must be repaired
before it can be used. Many accidents
are caused by poor maintenance.
g) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely
to bind and are easier to control.
h) Use the power tool and its accessories
in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working
conditions and the task to be
performed. Using the power tool for
operations other than those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
i) Keep handles and grasping
surfaces dry, clean and without
any trace of oil or grease. Slippery
grips and gripping surfaces do not
allow safe movement and control of
the tool in unexpected situations.
5 Using and looking after
battery-operated tools
a) Only use battery chargers
recommended by the manufacturer
to recharge batteries. A battery
charger suitable for one type of
battery pack can create a risk of
fire, electric shock, overheating or
leakage of corrosive battery fluid when
used with another battery pack.
b) Use only batteries specifically
designed for your power tool.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When the batteries are not in use, they
should be kept away from other metal
objects such as paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects that could short- circuit the
contacts. Short circuits between battery
contacts can lead to explosion or fires.
d) A battery in poor condition may allow
fluid to leak from it. Avoid contact
with battery fluids. In case of accidental
contact, rinse with water. If battery fluids
come into contact with the eyes, also
consult a doctor. Liquid leaked from the
battery may cause skin irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a machine or battery
pack that are damaged or modified.
Damaged or modified batteries may
