• Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-
position before connecting to
power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your
nger on the switch or energising pow-
er tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the pow-
er tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jew-
ellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and prop-
erly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• 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.
• 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.
• Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or the bat-
tery pack from the power tool
before making any adjust
-ments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentaIly.
• Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not al-
low persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
• 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 op-
eration. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less
Iikely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, tak-
ing 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.
• Hold the device by the insu-
lated gripping surfaces when
performing work in which the
cutting tool may come into con-
tact with hidden wiring or its
own cord. Contact with a live wire
can also cause a charge in metal parts
of the device and result in an electric
shock.
