Operating Instructions

3) Personal safety
a) Always pay attention to what you
do and apply reasonable care
when working with a power tool.
Do not use the power tool when
you are tired or under the influence
of medication, drugs or alcohol.
When working with power tools, even
a short moment of inattentiveness
may result in severe injury.
b) Wear personal protection equip-
ment and always wear eye protec-
tion (safety goggles).
Wearing per-
sonal protection equipment as a dust
mask, nonslip safety shoes, safety
helmet or ear protectors (depending
on the type and application of the
tool) reduces the risk of injury.
c) Avoid unintentional operation.
Make sure that the power tool is
switched off before you connect
it to the mains supply and/or the
battery and whenever you pick up
or carry the tool.
When carrying
the tool with your finger on the on/off
switch or connecting the tool to the
mains supply with the switch in ‘ON’
position, this may result in accidents.
d) Remove adjustment tools or
wrenches and the like before you
switch the power tool on.
A wrench
or other tool that is inside or on a ro-
tating part of the tool may cause injury.
e) Avoid unusual postures. Make sure
to have a safe footing and keep
your balance at all times.
This will
allow you to better control the power
tool in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothes. Do not wear
wide clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothes and gloves clear
of all moving parts.
Loose clothing,
jewellery or long hair may get caught
in moving parts.
g) If dust extraction/collection devices
are provided make sure that they
are connected and used properly.
The use of a dust extraction device
may reduce risks caused by dust.
4) Use and handling of the power tool
a) Do not overtax the power tool. Use
the power tool intended for your
type of work in each case.
The use
of the suitable power tool within the
stated range of performance makes
working more effective and safer.
b) Do not use a power tool with a
damaged switch.
A power tool that
cannot be switched on or off any
more is dangerous and must be re-
paired.
c) Pull the mains plug and/or remove
the battery before adjusting a tool,
changing accessories or putting
the tool aside.
This precaution avoids
the unintentional start of the tool.
d) Store power tools that are cur-
rently not used out of the reach of
children.
Do not allow persons to use
the tool if they are not familiar with the
tool or these instructions. Power tools
are dangerous if used by inexperi-
enced persons.
e) Thoroughly maintain your power
tool. Check whether moving parts
are working properly and are not
jamming/sticking, and whether parts
are broken or otherwise damaged in
a way that may affect the function
of the power tool. Have damaged
parts repaired before using the tool.
Many accidents are the result of poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Thoroughly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are jamming
less often and are easier to guide.
