e) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
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.
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 bat-
tery pack from the power tool
before making any adjust -ments,
changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentaIly.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of mov-
ing parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may af-
fect 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 cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less Iikely to
bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations dif-
ferent from those intended could result in
a hazardous situation.
h) Hold the device by the insulated
gripping surfaces when perfor-
ming work in which the cutting
tool may come into contact 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.
5) CAREFUL HANDLING AND USE OF
BATTERY DEVICES
a) Charge the batteries only in
chargers that are recommended
by the manufacturer. Risk of re if a
charger that is suitable for a specic type
of battery is used with other batteries.
b) In the power tools, use only the
batteries designed for the pur-
pose. The use of other batteries may
result in injuries and risk of re.
c) Keep the unused battery away
from paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws and other small
