(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 connec-
tion 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 tools 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 likely to bind and are
easier to control.
(g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended for
the particular type of power tool, 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 power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
(b) Preventative maintenance performed by
unauthorized personnel may result in
misplacing of internal wires and
components which could cause serious
hazard. We recommend that all tool service
be performed by a FLEX Factory Service
Center or Authorized FLEX Service Station.
