b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection.
Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) 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 the power
tool with your finger on the ON/OFF switch or
connecting the power tool to the mains supply
whilst it is switched on can lead to serious
accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on.
A tool or wrench
attached to a rotating component on the power
tool can cause serious injuries.
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 and clothing 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.
The use of an extraction system can reduce
hazards caused by dust.
4. Power tool use and care
a) Do not overload 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 remove any removable battery packs
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the power tool.
This precaution is intended to prevent you from
unintentionally starting the appliance.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children. 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) Look after power tools and accessories with
care. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power
tool's operation. Arrange for damaged
components to be repaired before using the
power tool.
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
accessory tools 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.
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 oacks may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it
