maintain a stable posture and balance. This will
allow better control of the power tool in unfore-
seen situations.
• Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewellery. The operator must make sure
that their hair and clothing are a sufficient dis-
tance away from moving parts. Loose clothing,
jewellery and long hair can be caught in mov-
ing parts.
• Where equipment is provided for connecting
dust extraction and collection facilities, care
must be taken to ensure that it is connected
and used correctly. The use of such equipment
can reduce hazards caused by dust.
• The operator must not allow themselves to
become lax and ignore the principles of work
safety due to the routine that results from the
frequent use of the tool. Careless actions can
cause serious injuries in a split second.
Use and maintenance of power tools
• Power tools must not be overloaded. It is es-
sential to use the correct power tool for the
work being carried out. The correct power tool
will do the work it was designed to do better
and safer.
• Power tools that cannot be switched on and off
with the switch must not be used. Any power
tool that cannot be operated with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
• The battery must be removed from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. These pre-
cautions reduce the risk of accidentally starting
the power tool.
• Unused power tools must be stored out of
the reach of children. Persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions must not
be allowed to use the power tool. Power tools
are dangerous in the hands of inexperienced
users.
• Power tools and accessories must be main-
tained. The adjustment and mobility of moving
parts must be checked and attention focused
on cracks, broken parts and any other circum-
stances that may compromise the function of
the power tool. If the tool is damaged, it must
be repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Cutting tools must be kept sharp and clean.
Properly maintained and sharpened cutting
tools are less likely to catch on material or jam
and are easier to control.
• Power tools, accessories and tool bits etc. must
be used in accordance with these instructions
and in the manner intended for the particular
power tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be carried out. Us-
ing power tools for activities other than those
for which they are designed can lead to dan-
gerous situations.
• Handles and grip surfaces must be kept dry,
clean and free of grease. Slippery handles and
gripping surfaces mean the tool cannot be
held and controlled in unexpected situations.
• Do not use cloth work gloves when using pow-
er tools as these can become entangled. Cloth
work gloves becoming tangled in moving parts
can cause personal injury.
Use and maintenance of cordless tools
• The tool must only be charged with the charger
specified by the manufacturer. A charger that
may be suitable for one type of battery pack
may cause a fire risk when used with another
battery pack.
• The tool must only be used with a battery that
is specifically designed for the tool. The use of
any other batteries may cause a risk of injury
or fire.
• When the battery is not in use, it must be pro-
tected from contact with other metal objects,
such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws,
or other small metal objects that can cause one
battery contact to come in contact with anoth-
er. Short-circuiting the battery terminals may
cause burns or fire.
• If used incorrectly, liquids may leak from the
battery; contact with them should be avoided.
In the case of accidental contact with these flu-
ids, the affected area must be rinsed with water.
In addition, seek medical attention if fluid gets
into the eye. Liquids escaping from the battery
can cause inflammation or burns.
• A battery or tool that is damaged or modified
must not be used. A damaged or modified
battery can exhibit unpredictable behaviour,
which can result in fire, explosion, or the risk of
