e) Do not overreach. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times. This ena-
bles better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair
and clothing away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of dust collec-
tion can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not allow yourself to get lulled
into a false sense of security and do
not ignore the safety regulations for
power tools, even if you are familiar
with the power tool after repeated
use . A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.
4 . Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your applica-
tion . 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 danger-
ous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and acces-
sories. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool's opera-
tion. 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 hazard-
ous 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.
5. Use and handling of the cordless
electrical power tool
a) Only charge rechargeable batteries
using the chargers that are recom-
mended by the manufacturer. Charg-
ers are often designed for a particular
type of rechargeable battery unit. There
is a risk of fire if other types of recharge-
able battery units are used.
b) Only the rechargeable battery units
supplied are to be used with an elec-
trical power tool . The use of other
rechargeable battery units may lead to
the danger of injury or fire.
