d) Remove any adjusting tools or spanners/keys
before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) 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.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct pow-
er 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 remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such precautionary measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and attachments. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts and any other condition that may af-
fect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many acci-
dents 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 electric tools, insertion tools, etc. according
to these instructions. Take into account the
working conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for operations differ-
ent from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.

5) Service
a) Only have your power tool repaired by qualified
specialists and only with original spare parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
Using and handling the rechargeable tool
a) Only charge the batteries with battery chargers
recommended by the manufacturer. A battery
charger that is suitable for a particular type of bat-
tery poses a fire hazard when used with other bat-
teries.
b) Only use the batteries in power tools that are
designed for them. The use of other batteries can
lead to injuries and a risk of fire.
c) Keep the unused battery away from paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects that could cause a short-circuit between
the contacts. A short-circuit between the contacts
of the battery could result in burns or fires.
d) Liquid may leak from the battery if used incor-
rectly. Avoid contact with it. In case of acciden-
tal contact, rinse with water. If the liquid gets in-
to your eyes, seek additional medical attention.
Leaking battery fluid may cause skin irritation or
burns.
e) Do not use a damaged or modified battery. Dam-
aged or modified batteries can behave unpredict-
ably and cause fire, explosion or injury.
f) Do not expose a battery to fire or excessive tem-
peratures. Fire or temperatures above 130°C may
cause an explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and never
charge the battery or rechargeable tool outside
the temperature range specified in the operating
manual. Incorrect charging or charging outside the
approved temperature range can destroy the bat-
tery and increase the risk of fire.
h) Never attempt to service damaged batteries. Any
type of battery maintenance shall be carried out on-
ly by the manufacturer or an authorised customer
service centre.
