7. 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
result in a hazardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
8.
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work
gloves which may be entangled. The entangle-
ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may
result in personal injury.
Battery tool use and care
1. Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specifically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
3. 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 termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
4.
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
5. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in
fire, explosion or risk of injury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or tem-
perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
1.
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
2. Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
3. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
Cordless cut-out tool safety
warnings
1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden wir-
ing. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
2. Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable plat-
form.Holding the work by your hand or against the
body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
3. Wear eye protection and dust mask.
4. Ventilate your work area adequately.
5. Check the bit carefully for cracks or damage
before operation. Replace cracked or damaged
bit immediately.
6. Check for the proper clearance beneath the
workpiece before cutting so that the bit will not
strike a hard surface such as the floor, work-
bench, etc.
Do not cut metal objects such as nails and
7.
screws. Inspect for and remove all nails,
screws and other foreign material from the
workpiece before operation.
Check that the bit is not contacting the work-
8.
piece before the switch is turned on. Always
hold the tool with two hands while switching
the tool on. The motor torque can cause the
tool to turn.
9. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate improperly
installed bit.
10. Make sure that the shaft lock is released
before the switch is turned on.
11. Always use with the shoe securely attached to
the tool and positioned flat and firmly against
the workpiece.
12. Hold the tool firmly.
13. Do not perform any operation using your
hands to support or guide the workpiece.
14. Keep hands away from moving parts.
15. Do not use this tool for drilling.
16. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
17. Always switch off and wait for the bit to come
to a complete stop before removing the bit
from workpiece.
18. Do not touch the bit or the workpiece immedi-
ately after operation; they may be extremely
hot and could burn your skin.
19. Draw attention to the need to use cutters of the
correct shank diameter and which are suitable
for the speed of the tool.
20. Place the tool on a flat and stable surface.
Otherwise falling accident may occur and cause a
personal injury.
