h Do not take safety lightly and do
not ignore the rules of safe power
tool handling, even if you are famil-
iar with the power tool and have
used it many times. Careless han-
dling can lead to serious injuries with-
in fractions of a second.
4 Power tool use and care
a 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.
b Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to oper-
ate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
e 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 maintained power tools.
f Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
g 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.
h Keep handles and grip surfaces dry,
clean, and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grip surfaces do
not allow safe handling and control of
the power tool in unexpected situa-
tions.
5 Service
a 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.
Additional safety notes for grinders
and polishers
• Wear a dust-protection mask.
Breathing in dust represents a risk to
the operator and anybody else in the
vicinity.
• Wear suitable personal protective
gear. Touching or skin contact with
dust represents a risk to the operator
and anybody else in the vicinity.
Note: When sanding, for example, paint
containing lead, as well as certain types
of wood and metal, it is possible that
poisonous dust may be generated. Take
appropriate precautions to prevent
operators and anyone else in the area
breathing in dust/coming into contact
with dust.
