per footing and balance at all ti-
mes. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery 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 ca-
reless action can cause severe in-
jury 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 cannot
be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, chan-
ging accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool acci-
dentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of
the reach of children and do not
allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instruc-
tions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. 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 cut-
ting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, acces-
sories and tool bits etc. in accor-
dance 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 unex-
pected situations.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the char-
ger specified by the manufac-
turer. A charger that is suitable
