PERSONAL SAFETY
– cont’d
Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
This enables
better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
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.
Power tool use and care
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
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.
Service
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.
