en ENGLISH these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards. 3.4 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 misalignment 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. 3.5 Service a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. 4. Special Safety Instructions Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss. Use the auxiliary handle(s) supplied with the tool. Loss of control may cause personal injury. Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock. Pull the plug out of the socket before making any adjustments, changing tools, maintaining or cleaning. 10 Always work with the additional handle correctly installed. Always hold the machine with both hands on the intended handles, take a secure stance and concentrate on the work. Always wear protective goggles, gloves, a dust mask and sturdy shoes when working with this tool. Ensure that the place where you wish to work is free of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g. check using a metal detector). Work only with a correctly fitted tool. Pull on the tool to check that it is correctly seated. (It must be possible to move the tool a few centimetres in an axial direction.) When working above ground level, ensure that the area below you is clear. Never touch the tool or parts near the tool directly after work because they may be extremely hot and can cause burns to the skin, Always position the power cable so that it leads away from the back of the machine. A damaged or cracked additional handle must be replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective additional handle. Secure the workpiece to prevent slipping or rotation (e.g. by securing with screw clamps). Reduce dust exposure: Some of the dust created using this power tool may contain chemicals known to cause cancer, allergic reaction, respiratory disease, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: Lead from leadbased paints, crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber, hard wood like oak or beech, metals, asbestos. The risk from exposure to such substance will depends on how long you or bystanders are being exposed. Do not let particles enter the body. To reduce your exposure to these substances: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. Observe the relevant guidelines for your material, staff, application and place of application (e.g. occupational health and safety regulations, disposal). Collect the generated particles at the source, avoid deposits in the surrounding area. Use suitable accessories for special work. In this way, fewer particles enter the environment in an uncontrolled manner. Use a suitable extraction unit. Reduce dust exposure with the following measures: - Do not direct the escaping particles and the exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons or on dust deposits. - Use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers.
