f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use
of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
4. Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
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 adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures 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 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 misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, breakage 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. Properly
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 instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
5. Use and handling of the cordless
electrical power tool
a) Charge a rechargeable battery unit using
only the charger recommended by the manu-
facturer. Chargers are often designed for a
particular type of rechargeable battery unit.
There is the danger of fire if other types of
rechargeable battery units are used.
b) Only the rechargeable battery units supplied
are to be used with an electrical power tool.
The use of other rechargeable batteries may
lead to a risk of injury or fire.
c) When they are not being used, store
rechargeable battery units away from paper-
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects that could cause the contacts to
be bridged. Short-circuiting the contacts of a
rechargeable battery unit may result in heat
damage or fire.
d) Fluids may leak out of rechargeable battery
units if they are misused. If this happens,
avoid contact with the fluid. If contact occurs,
flush the affected area with water. Seek addi-
tional medical help if any of the fluid gets into
your eyes. Escaping battery fluid may cause
skin irritation or burns.
CAUTION! RISK OF EXPLOSION!
