b) Do not use an electrical power tool if
its switch is defective. An electrical power
tool that can no longer be switched on and off
is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Pull the mains plug out of the socket
before you make any adjustments to
the device, change accessories or when
the device is put away. This precaution is
intended to prevent you from unintentionally
starting the device.
d) When not in use always ensure that
electrical power tools are kept out of
reach of children. Do not let anyone
use the device if he or she is not famil-
iar with it or has not read the instruc-
tions and advice. Electrical power tools are
dangerous when they are used by inexperienced
people.
e) Look after the device carefully. check
that moving parts are working prop-
erly and move freely. check for any
parts that are broken or damaged
enough to detrimentally affect the
functioning of the device. Have dam-
aged parts repaired before you use the
device. Many accidents have their origins in
poorly maintained electrical power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools clean and sharp.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to jam and are
easier to control.
g) Use the electrical power tool, accesso-
ries, inserted tools etc. in accordance
with these instructions and advice,
and the stipulations drawn up for this
particular type of device. In doing
this, take into account the working
conditions and the task in hand. The
use of electrical power tools for purposes other
than those intended can lead to dangerous
situations.
General safety advice for electrical power tools
5. careful handling and use
of rechargeable devices
a) charge a rechargeable battery unit
using only the charger recommended
by the manufacturer. Chargers are often
designed for a particular type of rechargeable
battery unit. There is the danger of fire if other
types of rechargeable battery units are used.
b) Only the rechargeable battery units
supplied are to be used with an elec-
trical power tool. The use of other recharge-
able battery units may lead to the danger of
injury or fire.
c) When they are not being used, store
rechargeable battery units away from
paperclips, coins, keys. nails, screws
or other small metal objects that could
cause the contacts to be bridged. Short-
circuiting the contacts of a rechargeable battery
unit may result in heat damage or fire.
d) Fluids may leak out of rechargeable
battery units if they are misused. If
this happens, avoid contact with the
fluid. If contact occurs, flush the affect-
ed area with water. Seek additional
medical help if any of the fluid gets
into your eyes. Escaping battery fluid may
cause skin irritation or burns.
