- Hold børn og omkringstående væk, mens du betjener et elværktøj. Distraktioner kan få dig til at miste kontrollen.
2.3 Brug og pleje af værktøj
- Tving ikke elværktøjet. Brug det korrekte elværktøj til din applikation.
- Frakobl batteripakken fra elværktøjet, før du foretager justeringer, skifter tilbehør eller opbevarer elværktøj.
