c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool.
Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising
power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
This enables
better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair
and clothing away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used.
Use of dust collec-
tion can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from fre-
quent 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 sec-
ond.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your applica-
tion.
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 remove the battery
pack, if detachable, 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 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.
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 use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger speci-
fied 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 termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
