3. PERSONAL SAFETY (cont.)
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unex-
pected situations.
Wear suitable clothing. 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.
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 bet-
ter and more safely at the rate for which it was designated.
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 adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. This safety measure will prevent the tool from starting accidental-
ly.
Keep any power tools that are not being used out of the reach of children. Do not allow any person who is unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to operate the tool. Power tools are dangerous when placed in the hands of
inexperienced users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition
that may affect the tools 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, 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 intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
HANDLING AND USE OF CORDLESS TOOLS
Make sure that the switch is in the OFF position before inserting the battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power
tools that have the switch ON invites accidents.
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 the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails
screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery ter-
minals 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 irritation
or burns.
