5.1.6Service

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

5.2 Additional safety precautions

5.2.1Personal safety

a)Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the fas- tener may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners con- tacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

b)Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

c)Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.

d)Breathing protection must be worn if the power tool is used without a dust removal system for work that creates dust.

e)Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by relaxing your hands and exercising your fingers during breaks between working.

f)Avoid touching rotating parts. Switch the power tool on only after bringing it into position at the workpiece. Touching rotating parts, especially rotating insert tools, may lead to injury.

g)Activate the safety lock (forward / reverse switch in the middle position) before storing or trans- porting the power tool.

h)Children must be instructed not to play with the power tool.

i)The power tool is not intended for use by chil- dren, by debilitated persons or those who have received no instruction or training.

j)WARNING: Some dust created by grinding, sanding, cutting and drilling contains chem- icals known to cause cancer, birth defects, infertility or other reproductive harm; or seri- ous and permanent respiratory or other injury. Some examples of these chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks, concrete and other masonry products and natural stone, arsenic and chromium from chemically- treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce exposure to these chemicals, the operator and bystanders should work in a well-ventilated area, work with approved safety

equipment, such as respiratory protection ap- propriate for the type of dust generated, and designed to filter out microscopic particles and direct dust away from the face and body. Avoid prolonged contact with dust. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or to remain on your skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

5.2.2Power tool use and care

a)Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to secure the workpiece. The workpiece is thus held more securely than by hand and both hands remain free to operate the power tool.

b)Check that the insert tools used are compatible with the chuck system and that they are secured in the chuck correctly.

c)Ensure fastener and attachment will withstand the level of torque generated by the tool. Exces- sive torque may overstress, strip or damage the fastener/attachment and possibly lead to personal injury.

5.2.3Cordless tool use and care

a)Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into a lamp that is switched on may dazzle you.

b)Do not expose batteries to high temperatures or fire. This presents a risk of explosion.

c)Do not disassemble, squash or incinerate bat- teries and do not subject them to temperatures over 80°C. A risk of fire, explosion or injury through contact with caustic substances may otherwise result.

d)Avoid ingress of dampness.Dampness may cause a short circuit resulting in a risk of burning injury or fire.

e)Do not use batteries other than those approved for use with the applicable power tool or appli- ance. Use of other batteries or use of the battery for purposes for which it is not intended presents a risk of fire and explosion.

f)Observe the special instructions applicable to the transport, storage and use of Li-ion batter- ies.

g)Remove the battery before storing or transport- ing the power tool.

h)Avoid short-circuiting the battery. Check that the terminals on the battery and in the power tool
