(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.
(h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent
use of tools allow you to become complacent
and ignore tool safety principles.
A careless action can cause severe injury
within a fraction of a second.
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, 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.
(h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do
not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
5. Battery tool use and care
(a) Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk
of fire when used with another battery pack.
(b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
(c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects, that can make a connection
from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or
a fire.
(d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
(e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified.
Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
(f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fire or excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or temperature above
265 °F may cause explosion.
