4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-
rect power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was de-
signed.
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 adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety meas-
ures 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 unfa-
miliar with the power tool or these in-
structions 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, break-
age 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. Prop-
erly 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 instruc-
tions, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations differ-
ent from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical re-
placement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety Warnings for Blowers/Vacs
Do not vacuum and blow materials that are
hazardous to one'zs health, e. g., dust from
beech or oak wood, masonry dust, asbestos.
These materials are considered carcinogenic.
Do not vacuum and blow liquids. The pene-
tration of liquids increases the risk of an elec-
tric shock.
Keep the power tool away from rain or mois-
ture. The penetration of water into the motor
increases the risk of an electric shock.
When operating the power tool in damp en-
vironments is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD). The use of a residual
current device (RCD) reduces the risk of an
electric shock.
Never use the machine with a damaged ca-
ble. Do not touch the damaged cable and pull
the mains plug when the cable is damaged
while working. Damaged cables increase the
risk of an electric shock.
Do not drive over, crush or stretch the cable.
Do not pull the cable to unplug the plug from
the socket outlet or to move the power tool.
Damaged cablesincrease the risk of an elec-
tric shock.
During work breaks, when not in use or
when working on the power tool (e. g. chang-
ing tool inserts, repairs, cleaning, adjust-
ments), pull the mains plug. This safety meas-
ure prevents accidental starting of the power
tool.
Provide for good ventilation at the working
place.
Do not allow children to use the power tool
without supervision. Children can injure
themselves.
Wear additional personal protective equip-
ment, such as safety goggles and respirator.
Wearing protective equipment for appropriate
conditions reduces the exposure toward haz-
ardous substances.
