•
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear
loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or
long hair can fasten in moving parts.
•
If dust extraction equipment is available,
this should be connected and used
correctly. The use of such devices can
reduce the risk of dust-related problems.
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 safer
when used at the rate for which it was
designed.
•
Do not use the 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 accidently 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.
•
Keep power tools properly maintained.
Check that moving parts are properly
adjusted and move freely, and that no
parts are incorrectly fitted or damaged.
Check for other factors that could affect
functionality. If the power tool is
damaged, it must be repaired before
being 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 they
are intended to be used for.
•
Keep handles and grips clean, dry and free
from oil and grease. Greasy handles and
grips make it difficult to hold the tool.
SERVICE
•
The power tool must only be serviced by
an authorised service centre using
identical spare parts. This will ensure that
the power tool remains safe to use.
•
Never attempt to repair damaged
batteries. Batteries should only be
serviced by an authorised service centre or
other qualified personnel. (For battery
operation only).
SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR SCREW DRIVING AND
PERCUSSION DRILLING
Hold the power tool by the insulated grips
when working in areas where it may come
into contact with concealed electrical cables or
its own power cord. Contact with a live cable
will cause the metal parts on the tool to also
become live and give the user an electric shock.
REDUCTION OF NOISE AND
VIBRATIONS
•
Plan the work so that exposure to heavy
vibrations is spread over a longer period.
•
To reduce noise and vibrations when in
use, limit the time the tool is in use, and
use low-power/vibration mode and
suitable safety equipment.
•
Take the following precautions to
minimise the risks of exposure to
vibrations and/or noise:
–
Only use the tool in accordance with
these instructions.
