GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
7. If there is an option for installing dust suction devices
and dust containers, these should be attached and
used correctly. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
8. Do not be lulled into a false sense of security and
ignore the safety rules for power tools, even if you are
well acquainted with power tools, having used them
frequently. Using power tools without due care and
attention can cause serious injuries in a split second.
Using and handling the power tool
1. Do not overload the power tool. Use the right power
tool for your work. The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
2. Do not use a power tool if its switch is defective. Any
power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
remove the rechargeable battery from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing insertion
tools or storing the power tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
4. Keep unused power tools out of the reach of children.
Do not let any individual who is not familiar with the
power tool or who has not read these instructions
operate this power tool. Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.

GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
5. Maintain power tools and insertion tools with care.
Check to make sure that the moving parts are
functioning properly and not stuck, whether parts
are broken or damaged so as to affect the function
of the power tool. If any parts of the power tool are
damaged, have them repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool and insertion tools, etc., in
accordance with these instructions. At the same time,
consider the working con- ditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
8. Keep handles and handle surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
handle surfaces will prevent you from operating
and controlling the power tools safely in unforeseen
situations.
Cordless tool use and care
1. Only charge the rechargeable batteries with chargers
recommended by the manufacturer. Chargers
designed for a particular rechargeable battery
type pose a risk of fire if used with other types of
rechargeable battery.
