power source and/or battery pack,
picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your inger
on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
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
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 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
diferent from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
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 ire
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 ire.
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 ire.
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.
6) 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.
