• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If dust extraction and collection devices can be
mounted, make sure that they are connected
and used properly. Using a dust extraction unit
can reduce hazards caused by dust.
4. Power tool use and care
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct pow-
er 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 plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool be-
fore making any adjustments, changing acces-
sories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the pow-
er tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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.
• Treat electric tools carefully. Check wheth-
er the moving parts work perfectly and do
not drag, whether not broken or damaged
to such an extent that functioning of elec-
tric tools could be affected. Have any dam-
aged parts repaired before using the machine.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could re-
sult in a hazardous situation.
• Ensure that all handles and safety equipment are in-
stalled when using the electrical tool. Never attempt
to use an incomplete electrical tool or one with an
impermissible modification.
• Always familiarise yourself with your environment
and pay attention to possible hazards that you may
not hear due to the noise from the electrical tool.
• Avoid using the electrical tool if people, and espe-
cially children, are in the vicinity.
5. Using and treatment of cordless tools.
• Charge the batteries only in chargers recom-
mended by the manufacturer. Risk of fire for a
charger suitable only for a certain type of batteries
or, as appropriate, accumulators, if used for other
accumulators.
• Use only such accumulators in this electric ap-
pliance that have been designed for this ap-
pliance. Use of other accumulators may lead to
injuries and risk of fire.
• Do not leave an accumulator not being used
near office clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or
other small metal items that could cause con-
tact bridging. Short circuit between accumulator
contacts may result in burns or fire.
• Liquid may leak from an accumulator if used
improperly. Prevent contact with such liquid.
Rinse an affected body part with water in case
of accidental contact. If liquid gets to your eye,
seek medical advice. Liquid leaking from a bat-
tery may cause skin irritation or burns.
• Observe the operating manual and the safety
instructions enclosed with the rechargeable
battery or charging unit.
6. Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This ensures that the safety of the device
is maintained.
