gising power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotat-
ing part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper foot-
ing 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 mov-
ing parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the con-
nection of dust extraction and col-
lection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
Power tool use and care:
• Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your applica-
tion. 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 con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery 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 allow
persons unfamiliar with the power
66
tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dan-
gerous 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 operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents 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, taking into ac-
count the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazard-
ous situation.
• Carefully inspect the area to be cut and
remove all wires or other foreign bodies.
• Hold the power tool only on the in-
sulated handle surfaces, as the saw
chain can come into contact with
concealed power lines. Contact be-
tween the saw chain and a live wire can
make metal parts of the equipment live
and cause an electric shock.
Careful handling and use of battery
devices
• Charge the batteries only in chargers
that are recommended by the manu-
facturer. Risk of fire if a charger that is
suitable for a specific type of battery is
used with other batteries.
• In the power tools, use only the bat-
teries designed for the purpose. The
use of other batteries may result in inju-
ries and risk of fire.
