GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
8 – English
•
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.
•
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.
•
The vibration emission during actual use of the power
tool can differ from the declared total value depending
on the ways in which the tool is used. Operators
should identify safety measures to protect themselves
that are based on an estimation of exposure in the
actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of
the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is
switched off and when it is running idle in addition to
the trigger).
Power tool use and care
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
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 likely to bind and are easier to control.
•
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.
Battery tool use and care
•
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.
•
Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
•
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.
•
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 irritations
or burns.
Service
•
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.
Always remove battery pack before:
•
Whenever the machine is left by user.
•
Before clearing a blockage.
•
Always remove the battery before any maintenance
on the machine.
•
If any foreign object is hit or if vibrations occur stop the
machine immediately. Remove the battery from the
machine and check that the machine is not damaged.
If the machine starts to vibrate abnormally,
immediately check.
