Panasonic EYFLF1XA Operating Instructions Manual page 59

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair
and clothing away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from
frequent use of tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles.
A careless action can cause severe in-
jury within a fraction of a second.
4) Power Tool Use and Care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your applica-
tion.
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 con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the pow-
er source and/or remove the battery
pack, if detachable, from the power
tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing
power tools.
Such preventive safety measures re-
duce 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 and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the pow-
er 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 ac-
count the working conditions and
the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations dif-
ferent from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces
do not allow for safe handling and con-
trol of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Battery Tool Use and Care
a) Recharge only with the charger spec-
ified by the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other
small metal objects, that can make a con-
nection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected from the battery; avoid con-
tact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
