5) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situa-
tions.
6) Dress properly. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewelry. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
7) If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and proper-
ly used.
Use of these devices can reduce
dust related hazards.
Power Tool Use and Care
1) 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.
2) Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and
off.
Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
3) Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, chang-
ing accessories, or storing pow-
er tools.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the pow-
er tool accidentally.
4) Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not al-
low persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
5) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of mov-
ing parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may af-
fect the power tools operation.
If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
6) Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to con-
trol.
7) Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions and in
the manner intended for the par-
ticular type of power tool, taking
into account the working con-
ditions and the work to be per-
formed.
Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
Battery Tool Use and Care
1) Ensure the switch is in the off
position before inserting battery
pack.
Inserting battery pack into pow-
er tools that have the switch on in-
vites accidents.
2) 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.
3) Use power tools only with spe-
cifically designated battery
packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
4) When battery pack is not in use,
keep it away from other metal ob-
jects like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small met-
al objects that can make a con-
nection from one terminal to an-
other.
Shorting the battery terminals to-
gether may cause burns, or a fire.
