4) Careful handling and use of power tools
a) Do not overtax the power tool. Use the
power tool intended for your type of
work in each case. The use of the suit-
able power tool within the stated range of
performance makes working more effective
and safer.
b) Do not use a power tool with a dam-
aged switch. A power tool that cannot be
switched on or off any more is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Pull the mains plug out of the socket be-
fore you adjust a tool, change accesso-
ries or put the tool aside. This precaution
avoids the unintentional start of the tool.
d) Store power tools 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 inexperienced
persons.
e) Thoroughly maintain your power tool.
Check whether moving parts are work-
ing properly and are not jamming/stick-
ing, and whether parts are broken or
otherwise damaged in a way that affects
the function of the 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 looked-after cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are jamming less often
and are easier to guide.
g) Use power tools, accessories, add-on
tools, etc. in accordance with these in-
structions and in the way prescribed for
the respective type of tool. You should
also consider the working conditions
and the work to be carried out. The use
of power tools for purposes other than
those intended for the respective tool may
result in dangerous situations.
