c)
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting to
power source and/or rechargeable battery, pick-
ing up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d)
Remove any adjusting tools or spanners/keys
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)
Avoid abnormal postures. Make sure that you
have secure footing and always maintain your
balance. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
f)
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and cloth-
ing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jew-
ellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g)
If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, en-
sure these are connected and properly used.
Using a dust extraction unit can reduce hazards
caused by dust.
h)
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and ig-
nore tool safety principles. 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 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 preventive safety 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 untrained users.
e)
Maintain electric tools and accessories with
care.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the power tool's operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired be-
fore use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f)
Always keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cut-
ting edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
g)
Use electric tools, accessories and tool at-
tachment, etc. according to these instructions.
Take 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.
5. Service
a)
Only have your power tool repaired by quali-
fied specialists and only with original spare
parts. This ensures that safety of the electric tool
is maintained.
m WARNING!
This power tool generates an electromagnetic field dur-
ing operation. This field can impair active or passive
medical implants under certain circumstances. In or-
der to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we
recommend that persons with medical implants consult
with their physician and the manufacturer of the medi-
cal implant prior to operating the machine.
Safety instructions for table-top grinding ma-
chines
a)
Never use damaged tool attachments. Check
tool attachments such as grinding discs for
chipping and cracks before each use. Once
you have checked and used the tool attach-
ment, ensure that you and all other persons
in the vicinity remain outside the plane of the
rotating tool attachment and allow the device
to run for 1 min. at the maximum speed. Dam-
aged tool attachments usually break during this
test period.
