away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
lery 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 freuquent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and ig-
nore, tool safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a sec-

4 POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a. 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.
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 battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
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. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the pow-
er tool's 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 tak-
ing 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.
h. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery handles do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.

5 SERVICE
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified re-
pair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the pow-
er tool is maintained.

Machine-related safety instructions

– Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cut-
ting accessory 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.
– Use suitable detectors to determine if utility
lines are hidden in the work area or call the lo-
cal utility company for assistance. Contact with
electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock.
Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Pene-
trating a water line causes property damage or
may cause an electric shock.
– Harmful/toxic dust may be produced during
your work (e.g. paint containing lead, certain
types of wood and metal). Only qualified per-
sons are permitted to handle materials contain-
ing asbestos. Inhaling or coming into contact
with this dust may represent a hazard for operat-
ing personnel or persons in the vicinity. Comply
with the safety regulations that apply in your
country.
Wear a P2 dust mask to protect your
health.
– Wait until the power tool stops completely until
placing it down. The tool can become entangled
and lead to a loss of control of the power tool.
– Grip the electric power tool securely so that
your body never comes into contact with the op-
erating tool, especially when working with saw
blades or cutters directed towards the grip ar-
ea, for example. Contact with sharp cutters or
edges can result in injuries.
– Wear suitable protection: such as ear protec-
tion, safety goggles, a dust mask for work which
generates dust, and protective gloves when
working with raw materials and when changing
tools.
