If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection facilities, please ensure
that they are attached and used correctly. Using such devices can reduce dust-related
hazards.
5.4 Power tool use and care
•
Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use the correct power tool for what
you want to do. A power tool will achieve better results and be safer if used in the context
for which it was designed.
•
Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A power tool with a broken
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
•
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments, changing accesso-
ries, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
•
Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do not allow people
who are not familiar with the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are
potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
•
Maintenance. Check for misalignment or jammed moving parts, breakages or any other
feature that might affect the operation of the power tool. If it is damaged, the power tool
must be repaired. Many accidents are caused by using 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 cutting tools, etc., in accordance with these instruc-
tions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account
the working conditions and the work which needs to be done. Using a power tool in ways for
which it was not intended can lead to potentially hazardous situations.
5.5 Service
•
Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare
parts. This will ensure that it meets the required safety standards.
6 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
Always wear hearing protection with impact drills. Exposure to noise can cause hearing
loss.
•
Use any auxiliary handle(s) that may be supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause
personal injury.
•
Hold the power tool using insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may make contact with hidden wiring or its own cord. If a cutting
accessory makes contact with a "live" wire, this may make any exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
7 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERIES AND CHARGERS
