make sure that they are connected and used
properly. The use of these devices reduces hazards
caused by dust.
4) Careful handling and use of power tools
a) Do not overtax the power tool. Use the power tool
intended for your type of work in each case. The
use of the suitable power tool within the stated range of
performance makes working more effective and safer.
b) Do not use a power tool with a damaged switch. A
power tool that cannot be switched on or off any more
is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Remove the battery from the power tool before you
adjust a tool, change accessories or put the tool
aside. This precaution avoids the unintentional start
of the tool.
d) Store power tools out of the reach of children. Do
not allow persons to use the tool if they are not
familiar with the tool or these instructions. Power
tools are dangerous if used by inexperienced persons.
e) Thoroughly maintain your power tool. Check
whether moving parts are working properly and are
not jamming/sticking, and whether parts are broken
or otherwise damaged in a way that affects the
function of the tool. Have damaged parts repaired
before using the tool. Many accidents are the result
of poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Thoroughly
looked-after cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
jamming less often and are easier to guide.
g) Use power tools, accessories, add-on tools, etc.
in accordance with these instructions and in the
way prescribed for the respective type of tool. You
should also consider the working conditions and
the work to be carried out. The use of power tools for
purposes other than those intended for the respective
tool may result in dangerous situations.
5) Appropriate handling and use of battery-operated
power tools
a) Only use charging devices recommended by the
manufacturer to charge the batteries. Charging units
are usually designed for certain types of batteries; if used
with other types there is a risk of fire!
b) Only use batteries designed for your power tool. The
use of other batteries may lead to injury and risk of fire!
c) Keep unused batteries clear of paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that
may bridge the contacts. A short circuit between the
battery contacts may lead to burns or fire!
d) Improper use may result in fluid leaking out of the
battery. Avoid any contact with battery fluid. Flush
with water in case of contact. If battery fluid should
get into your eyes seek medical advice additionally.
Leaking battery fluid may lead to irritations of the skin
or burns!
