Additional safety Instructions

Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local
utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a
gas line can lead to explosion. Cutting into a water line causes property damage or may cause an electric
shock.
Switch off the power tool immediately if the tool inserts jams.
Hold power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the
Cutting tool may run into hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the
tool "live" and shock the operator.
When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both hands and provide for a secure
stance. The power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can
burn or explode.
Always wait until the machine has come to a complete stop before placing it down.
Before any work on the machine (e. g., maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as during
transport and storage, set the rotational direction switch to the centre position. Unintentional
actuation of the On/Off switch can lead to injuries.
Avoid unintentional switching on. Carrying the power tool with your finger on the On/Off invites
accidents.
Do not open the battery. Danger of short circuiting.
Protect the power tool against heat, e. g., also against continuous sun irradiation and fire. There is
danger of explosion.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapors may be emitted. Provide for fresh air
and seek medical help in case of complaints. The vapors can irritate the respiratory system.
When the battery is defective, liquid can escape and come into contact with adjacent components.
Check any parts concerned. Clean such parts or replace them, if required.
Power Extension Cords
When using any extension cord the machine will suffer a power reduction due to the drop in voltage caused
by the length of the cord. This can be partially offset by selecting extension cords with lower gauge wire.
Check all extension cords for damage before use.
Avoid sharp objects.
Do not position the cord where it could be subject to traffic passing over it.

Battery use and care
A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only
with the specified charger for the battery.
A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery.
