Safety
Machine use and care
4.
A.
Do not force the machine. Use the correct
machine for your application. The correct
machine will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
B.
Do not use the machine if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any machine that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
C.
Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the machine before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the machine. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the machine accidentally.
D.
Store an idle machine out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the machine or these
instructions to operate the machine. A
machine is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
E.
Maintain the machine and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the
operation of the machine. If damaged,
have the machine repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by a poorly maintained
machine.
F.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
G.
Use the machine, accessories, and
tool bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the machine for operations
different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
H.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe
handling and control of the machine in unexpected
situations.
Battery machine use and care
5.
A.
Recharge only with the charger specified
by a manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack.
B.
Use the machine only with specifically
designated batteries. Use of any other batteries
may create a risk of injury and fire.
C.
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.
D.
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.
E.
Do not use a battery pack or machine that
is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting
in fire, explosion or risk or injury.
F.
Do not expose a battery pack or machine
to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to
fire temperature above 130°C may cause an explosion.
G.
Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or machine
outside the temperature range specified
in the instructions. Changing improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage
the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
6.
A.
Have your machine serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the machine is maintained.
B.
Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should be performed only by
the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
