away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.

) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
a
re connected and properly used. Use of dust col-
lection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
t
ool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
d
esigned.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be re-
paired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety meas-
ures reduce the risk of starting the power tool acci-
dentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
obstruction of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the power
t
ool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
p
oorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to become jammed and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
i
n accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to
b
e performed. Using the power tool for operations
other than those intended could result in a hazardous
s
ituation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified re-
pair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
