parts function perfectly and
do not stick, whether there
are any broken parts or
parts that are damaged in
such a way that the function
of the power tool is im-
paired. Have damaged parts
repaired before using the
power tool. Many accidents
are caused by failure to main-
tain power tools properly.
■
Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Carefully main-
tained cutting tools with
sharper cutting edges are less
likely to stick and are easier to
control.
■
Use power tools, accessor-
ies, insertion tools, etc. ac-
cording to these instruc-
tions. When doing so, take
account of the working con-
ditions and the activity to
be undertaken. Using power
tools for applications other
than the intended purpose
can result in dangerous situ-
ations.
■
Keep the grips and grip sur-
faces dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Slippery
grips and grip surfaces pre-
vent safe operation and con-
trol of the power tool in un-
foreseen situations.

3.1.4 Safety in the workplace
■
Keep your working area
clean, and make sure it is
well illuminated. Untidiness
or dimly lit working areas can
lead to accidents.
■
Do not work with the power
tool in a potentially explos-
ive atmosphere with the
presence of flammable li-
quids, gases or dust. Power
tools give rise to sparks that
can ignite the dust or vapours.
■
Keep children and other
people away from the power
tool when using it. If you are
distracted, you may lose con-
trol of the power tool.
3.1.5 Use and handling of the
rechargeable battery-
operated tool
■
Only recharge batteries with
chargers that are recom-
mended by the manufac-
turer. Using a charger inten-
ded for one particular type of
rechargeable battery with a
different type of rechargeable
battery represents a fire risk.
■
Only use batteries in the
power tools that are inten-
ded for this purpose. Using
other batteries can lead to in-
juries and represents the risk
of fire.
