4) 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.
5) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
6) 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.
7) If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce
dust related hazards.
Power Tool Use and Care
1) 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.
2) Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
3) Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accesso-
ries, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
4) Store idle power tools out of
the reach of children 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.
5) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of mov-
ing parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may af-
fect the power tools operation.
If damaged, have the power tool
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, accessories
and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particu-
lar type of power tool, taking 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.
Battery Tool Use and Care
1) Ensure the switch is in the off posi-
tion before inserting battery pack.
Inserting battery pack into power
tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
2) 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.
3) Use power tools only with specifi-
cally designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
4) When battery pack is not in use,
keep it away from other metal ob-
jects like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal
objects that can make a connec-
tion from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals togeth-
er may cause burns, or a fire.
5) Under abusive conditions, liquid
may be ejected from battery;
avoid contact. If contact acciden-
tally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
Service
1) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of
power tool is maintained.
