jewellery or long hair can get caught in
moving parts.
• If dust extraction devices can be fitted,
make sure they are properly connected
and used. Dust extraction reduces dust
related risks.
USING AND LOOKING AFTER
POWER TOOLS
• Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for the planned work.
The tool does the job better and safer
when used at the rate for which it was
designed.
• Do not use the tool if it cannot be
switched on and off with the power
switch. Power tools that cannot be
controlled with the power switch are
dangerous and must be repaired.
• Unplug the power cord before making any
adjustments, changing accessories or
putting the power tool away. These safety
precautions reduce the risk of accidently
starting the power tool.
• Store power tools out of the reach of
children when not in use. Never allow
children, or anyone who is unfamiliar with
the power tool and these instructions, to
use the tool. Power tools are dangerous if
used by inexperienced persons.
• Keep power tools properly maintained.
Check that moving parts are properly
adjusted and do not jam, and that no
parts are incorrectly fitted or damaged.
Check for other factors that could affect
functionality. If the power tool is
damaged, it must be repaired before
being used again. 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 jam
and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and bits
etc., in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the actual working
conditions and the work that is to be
done. It can be dangerous to use power
tools for purposes other than those they
are intended to be used for.
USING AND MAINTAINING BATTERY-
POWERED TOOLS
• Charge the batteries only with the charger
recommended by the manufacturer. The
use of another charger can result in the
risk of personal injury and fire.
• Only use batteries intended for the power
tool. The use of other batteries can result
in the risk of personal injury and fire.
• Do not allow batteries to come into
contact with paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws and other small metal objects that
can result in short circuiting. Short
circuiting the battery terminals can result
in the risk of burn injuries or fire.
• Incorrect use can cause liquid to leak from
the battery. Avoid touching this. Rinse
with water after unintentional contact.
Seek medical attention if you get battery
fluid in your eyes. Leaking battery fluid can
cause skin irritation or burn injuries.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Kickback and other warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction when a rotating
disc, backing pad, brush or other accessory
jams or catches on something. Jamming or
catching will cause the rotating accessory to
block suddenly, which in turn can force the
power tool in the opposite direction to the
rotating accessory. For example, if a grinding
disc pinches or sticks in the workpiece, the
edge of the disc that goes in at the sticking
point could dig into the material and cause
the disc to recoil and kick back. The disc can
jump either towards or away from the user,
depending on the direction of rotation of
the disc when it jams. Grinding discs can also
break in these situations. Kickback is a result
of the incorrect use of the power tool, and/or
incorrect procedures and working conditions.
