hair, clothes and gloves clear of all
moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery
or long hair may get caught in moving
parts.
g) If dust extraction/collection devices
are provided make sure that they are
connected and used properly. The use
of a dust extraction device may reduce
risks caused by dust.
4) Use and handling of the power tool
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 effec-
tive 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 and/or remove
the battery before adjusting a tool,
changing accessories or putting the
tool aside. This precaution avoids the
unintentional start of the tool.
d) Store power tools that are currently
not used 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 dan-
gerous if used by inexperienced persons.
e) Thoroughly maintain your power tool.
Check whether moving parts are work-
ing properly and are not jamming/
sticking, and whether parts are broken
or otherwise damaged in a way that
may affect the function of the power
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 maintained 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
instructions and in the way prescribed
for the respective type of tool. You
should also consider the working con-
