d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotat-
ing part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times. This ena-
bles better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) 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.
g) If devices are provided for the con-
nection of dust extraction and col-
lection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of
these devices can reduce dust-related
hazards.
h) Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise
can cause hearing loss.
i) Use auxiliary handles supplied with
the tool. Loss of control can cause per-
sonal injury.
j) Hold power tool by insulated grip-
ping surfaces, when performing an
operation where the cutting acces-
sory may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Cutting accessory contacting
a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.

5.4 Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your applica-
tion. 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 the battery pack from
the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.

d) 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 danger-
ous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power
tools operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use.
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
tool bits etc. in accordance with
these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of
power tool, 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.

5.5 Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualifi ed repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.

sert. When switching the machine on
with the drilling tool jammed, high
reaction torques can occur.
