g) If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facili-
ties, ensure these are connected and
properly used.
Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-
rect power tool for your application.
The
correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is de-
signed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on or 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 storing
power tools.
Such preventive safety mea-
sures 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 unfa-
miliar with the power tool or these in-
structions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, break-
age 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.
Prop-
erly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories, tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instruc-
tions, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations differ-
ent from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical re-
placement parts.
This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Power Tool-specific Safety
Warnings
f
Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the
tool down.
An exposed cutter may engage the
surface leading to possible loss of control and
serious injury.
f
Do not reach into the saw dust ejector with
your hands.
They could be injured by rotating
parts.
f
Apply the power tool to the workpiece only
when switched on.
Otherwise there is danger
of kickback when the cutting tool jams in the
workpiece.
f
When working, always hold the planer in
such a manner that the planer base plate fac-
es flat on the workpiece.
Otherwise the plan-
er can become wedged and lead to injuries.
f
Never plane over metal objects, nails or
screws.
The planer blade and the blade shaft
can become damaged and lead to increased
vibrations.
f
Secure the workpiece.
A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
f
Do not work materials containing asbestos.
Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
f
Take protective measures when dust can de-
velop during working that is harmful to one’s
health, combustible or explosive.
Example:
Some dusts are regarded as carcinogenic.
Wear a dust mask and work with dust/chip ex-
traction when connectable.
f
Do not use the power tool with a damaged
cord. Do not touch the damaged cord and
pull the plug from the outlet when the cord
is damaged while working.
Damaged cords
increase the risk of an electric shock.
