•
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear
loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose-fitting clothing, jewellery and
long hair can get caught in moving parts.
•
If dust extraction and dust collection
equipment is available, this should be
connected and used correctly. The use of
such equipment can reduce the risk of
dust-related problems.
•
Do not allow the fact that you are used to
working with similar tools cause you to
become over-confident and to disregard
the safety instructions for the tool.
A moment of inattention or carelessness
can result in serious personal injury.
USING AND LOOKING AFTER
POWER TOOLS
•
Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for the planned work.
The tool does the job better and safer
when used at the rate for which it was
designed.
•
Do not use the tool if it cannot be
switched on and off with the power
switch. Power tools that cannot be
controlled with the power switch are
dangerous and must be repaired.
•
Pull out the plug and/or remove the
battery before making any adjustments,
changing accessories or putting the power
tool away. These safety precautions
reduce the risk of accidently starting the
power tool.
•
Store power tools out of the reach of
children when not in use. Never allow
children, or anyone who is unfamiliar with
the power tool and these instructions, to
use the tool. Power tools are dangerous if
used by inexperienced persons.
•
Keep power tools properly maintained.
Check that moving parts are properly
adjusted and do not jam, and that no
parts are incorrectly fitted or damaged.
Check for other factors that could affect
functionality. If the power tool is
damaged, it must be repaired before
being used again. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
•
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam
and are easier to control.
•
Use the power tool, accessories and bits
etc., in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the actual working
conditions and the work that is to be
done. It can be dangerous to use power
tools for purposes other than those for
which they are intended to be used.
•
Keep handles and grips clean, dry and free
from oil and grease. Greasy handles and
grips make it difficult to hold the tool.
MINIMISATION OF NOISE AND
VIBRATION
•
Plan the work so that exposure to heavy
vibrations is spread over a longer period.
•
To reduce noise and vibrations when in
use, limit the time the tool is in use, and
use low-power/vibration mode and
suitable safety equipment.
•
Take the following precautions to
minimise the risks of exposure to
vibrations and/or noise:
–
Only use the tool in accordance with
these instructions.
–
Check that the tool is in good
condition.
–
Use accessories in good condition,
and which are suitable for the
purpose.
–
Keep a firm grip on the handles/
grips.
–
Maintain and lubricate the tool in
accordance with these instructions.
