▪ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from the power tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can become
entangled in the moving parts.
▪ If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection facilities, please ensure
that they are attached and used correctly. Using such devices can reduce dust-related
hazards.
5.4 Power tool use and care
▪ Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use the correct power tool for what
you want to do. A power tool will achieve better results and be safer if used in the context
for which it was designed.
▪ Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A power tool with a broken
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
▪ Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
▪ Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do not allow people
who are not familiar with the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are
potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
▪ Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or jammed moving parts, breakages or any
other feature that might affect the operation of the power tool. If it is damaged, the power
tool must be repaired. Many accidents are caused by using poorly maintained power tools.
▪ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
▪ Use the power tool, accessories and cutting tools, etc., in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into
account the working conditions and the work which needs to be done. Using a power tool
in ways for which it was not intended can lead to potentially hazardous situations.
5.5 Service
▪ Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare
parts. This will ensure that it meets the required safety standards.
6 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR DRILLS
▪ Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a ″live″ wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool ″live″ and shock the operator.
▪ Let bit cool before touching, changing or adjusting it. Bits heat up dramatically while in
use, and can burn you.
▪ Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.
▪ Do not lay the tool down until it has come to a complete stop. Moving parts can grab the
surface and pull the tool out of your control.
▪ When using a handheld power tool, maintain a firm grip on the tool with both hands to
resist starting torque.
▪ Do not leave the tool unattended when the Battery Pack is connected. Turn off the tool,
and remove the Battery Pack before leaving.
▪ The battery Charger gets hot during use. The Charger’s heat can build up to unsafe levels
and create a fire hazard if it does not receive adequate ventilation, due to an electrical
fault, or if it is used in a hot environment. Do not place the Charger on a flammable
surface. Do not obstruct any vents on the Charger. Especially avoid placing the Charger
on carpets and rugs; they are not only flammable, but they also obstruct vents under the
Charger. Place the Charger on a stable, solid, nonflammable surface (such as a stable
metal workbench or concrete floor) at least 1 foot away from all flammable objects, such
as drapes or walls. Keep a fire extinguisher and a smoke detector in the area. Frequently
monitor the Charger and Battery Pack while charging.
