Festool PM571782, PN571782, PI571782 instruction manual Personal Safety, Power Tool USE and Care

c)Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d)Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplug- ging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords in- crease the risk of electric shock.

e)When operating a power tool out- doors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f)If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected sup- ply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3 PERSONAL SAFETY

a)Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operat- ing a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medica- tion. A moment of inattention while op- erating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b)Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protec- tion used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c)Prevent unintentional starting. En- sure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energis- ing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d)Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in per- sonal injury.

e)Do not overreach. Keep proper foot- ing and balance at all times. This en- ables 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 mov- ing 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 dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

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 re- paired.

c)Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or battery pack from the power tool before making any adjust- ments, changing accessories, or stor- ing 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 children and do not allow per- sons 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 mis- alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other con- dition that may affect the power 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 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.
