12. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the

switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

13. 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.

14. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.

15. 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.

16. 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.

Power tool use and care

17. 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.

18. 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.

19. 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.

20. 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.

21. 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.

22. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

23. 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

24. 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.

25. Use power

tools

only with

specifically

designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

26. 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

another. Shorting the battery

terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

27. 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.

Service

28. 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.

29. Follow

instruction

for

lubricating

and

changing accessories.

30. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and

grease.
