c) Prevent unintentional starting.
Carrying power tools with your fi nger
on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal
injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
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
controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Ensure the switch is in the off
position before making any
adjustments, 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 operate
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.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
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.
5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Recharge only with the charger
specified by the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of
fi re when used with another battery
pack.
b) Under abusive conditions, liquid
may be ejected from the battery;
avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
6) 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.
