1.4.2. 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.
1.4.3. 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.
1.4.4. 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.
1.4.5. 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.

cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
1.4.7. 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.

or suitable spanner to the wheel-nut torque as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
3.4. Avoid excessive use of the wrench. When tightening a nut or bolt, never allow the
wrench to impact more than 8 times - to avoid over tightening - 3 to 4 impacts is sufficient.
3.5. Care of the mains cable. Keep the mains cable well away from the machine and ensure
an adequate electrical supply is close at hand so that the operation is not restricted by the
length of the cable.

extension suitable for the power rating of this tool (see specifications), the conductor size
should also be at least the same size as that on the machine, or larger. When using a cable
reel, always unwind the cable completely.
