c.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or rechargeable battery,
picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying electric tools with your finger on the
switch or connecting power tools to the power
supply when they are already switched on invites
accidents.
d.
Remove any adjusting tools or spanners/keys
before turning the power tool on.
A tool or spanner that is located in a rotating de-
vice part may result in injuries.
Avoid abnormal postures.
e.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unex-
pected situations.
f.
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts. Rubber gloves and anti-slip foot-
wear are recommended when working outdoors.
Tie long hair back in a hair net.
If dust extraction and collection devices can be
g.
mounted, make sure that they are connected
and used properly. Use of dust extraction can re-
duce 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.
4.
Power tool use and care
Do not overload the device.
a.
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 can-
not 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 adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing pow-
er tools.
Such precautionary measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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 un-
trained users. Unused power tools should be
stored in a dry, elevated or closed location out of
the reach of children.
e.
Maintain power tools and attachments.
Check whether moving parts function properly and
do not get stuck and whether parts are broken or
are damaged and thus adversely affect the electric
tool function. If damaged, have the power tool re-
paired 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, tool attachments and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instructions.
Take into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for op-
erations 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.
5.
Service
a.
Only have your power tool repaired by qualified
specialists and only with original spare parts.
This ensures that safety of the electric tool is main-
tained.
Safety instructions for bench drills
• Never make warning signs on the electric tool
illegible.
• Secure the electric tool to a solid, level and hori-
zontal surface. If the electric tool can slip or wob-
ble, the tool attachment cannot be guided evenly
and safely.
• Keep the work surface clean, except for the work-
piece to be processed. Sharp-edged drilling debris
and object can cause injuries. Material mixtures are
particularly dangerous. Light metal dust can burn or
explode.
