better control over the power tool in
unexpected situations.
• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear
loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose-fitting clothing,
jewellery and long hair can get caught in
moving parts.
• If dust extraction and dust collection
equipment is available, this should be
connected and used correctly. The use of
such devices can reduce the risk of
dust-related problems.
• Do not allow familiarity with similar tools
to lead to exaggerated self-confidence and
to neglect the safety instructions for the
tool. A moment of inattention or careless-
ness can result in serious personal injury.
USING AND LOOKING AFTER
POWER TOOLS
• Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for the planned work.
The tool does the job better and more
safely when used at the rate for which it
was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if it cannot be
switched on and off with the power
switch. Power tools that cannot be
controlled with the power switch are
dangerous and must be repaired.
• Pull out the plug and/or remove the
battery before making any adjustments,
changing accessories or putting the power
tool away. These safety precautions
reduce the risk of accidentally starting the
power tool.
• Store power tools out of the reach of
children when not in use. Never allow
children, or anyone who is unfamiliar with
the power tool and these instructions, to
use the tool. Power tools are dangerous if
used by inexperienced persons.
• Maintain power tools and accessories.
Check that moving parts are properly
22
adjusted and do not jam, and that no
parts are incorrectly fitted or damaged.
Check for other factors that could affect
functionality. If a power tool is damaged it
must be repaired before it is used again.
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 jam
and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and bits
etc., in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the actual working
conditions and the work that is to be
done. It can be dangerous to use power
tools for purposes other than those for
which they are intended to be used.
• Keep handles and grips clean, dry and free
from oil and grease. Greasy handles and
grips make it difficult to hold and control
the tool in unexpected situations.
SERVICE
• Power tools must only be serviced by
qualified personnel using identical spare
parts. This will ensure that the power tool
remains safe to use.
SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ELECTRIC PLANERS
• Wait until the planing bit has completely
stopped before putting down the tool. The
exposed and rotating planing bit can
catch on the surface and cause the tool to
move out of control, which can result in
serious personal injury.
• Hold the tool by the insulated grips when
working in areas where the bit could
come into contact with concealed cables
or the power cord. Contact with a live
cable will cause the metal parts on the
power tool to also become live – risk of
electric shock.
