◼
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connec-
ting 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.
◼
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 misalign-
ment 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.
Battery tool use and care
◼
Recharge only with the charger specified
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.
◼
Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs.
Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury
and fire.
◼ 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 terminals together
may cause burns or a fire.
◼
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
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.
