SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
clothing away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry 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.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from
frequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
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) Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the power tool 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 and accessories.
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.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow
for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
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.
SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
a) Hold power tools by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring. Contact with a” live” wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool live and
shock the operator.
b) Take protective measures when
dust can develop during working that
is harmful to one’s health, combustible
or explosive. Example: Some dusts are
regarded as carcinogenic. Wear a dust
mask and work with dust/chip extraction
when connectable.
c) Secure the workpiece. A workpiece
clamped with clamping devices or in a vice
is held more secure than by hand.
d) To reduce the risk of electric shock or
damage to the charger and battery, use
only the batteries and charger listed.
