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
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 battery
pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children 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 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 attachments sharp
and clean. Properly maintained
cutting attachments with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories,
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
different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your electric power tool
serviced by a qualified repair
person using only original
replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
