4)Power tool use and care

a)Do not force the power tool. Use the cor- rect power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was de- signed.

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 the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjust- ments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety meas- ures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d)Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfa- miliar with the power tool or these in- structions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e)Maintain power tools. Check for misalign- ment or binding of moving parts, break- age of parts and any other condition 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. Prop- erly 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 instruc- tions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations differ- ent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5)Service

a)Have your power tool serviced by a quali- fied repair person using only identical re- placement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Machine-specific

Safety Warnings

fWear hearing protection. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

fAlways use the auxiliary handle supplied with the machine. Loss of control can cause personal injury.

fUse suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explo- sion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock.

fWhen working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The power tool is guided more secure with both hands.

fSecure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.

fDo not work materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.

fTake protective measures when dust can de- velop during working that is harmful to one’s health, combustible or explosive. Example:

Some dusts are regarded as carcinogenic. Wear a dust mask and work with dust/chip ex- traction when connectable.

fKeep your workplace clean. Blends of mate- rials are particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn or explode.
