• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facili-
ties, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce
dust-related hazards.
4. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• 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.
• 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.
• Disconnect the battery pack 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.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfa-
miliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment 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
poor maintenance.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cut-
ting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these in-
structions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in
a hazardous situation.
5. BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
• Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Inserting the
battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suit-
able for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• 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
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. 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.
6. FOR ALL APPLIANCES
