2. ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR NIBBLERS
• 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 faci-
lities, 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 main-
tained 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 qualifed repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR NIBBLERS
