Do not use this power tool before you have thor-
oughly read and completely understood this
Instruction Manual and the enclosed “General

Safety Instructions” (document number
3 41 30 054 06 1). The documents mentioned should be

Special safety instructions.

Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces
when performing operations where the application tool
could contact hidden wires.

Contact with a “live” wire

will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool
“live” and shock the operator.

Use clamps or another practical way to secure and sup-
port the workpiece to a stable platform.

Holding the

work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.

Grasp the power tool in such a safe manner that your
body never comes into contact with the application tool,
especially while working with application tools such as
saw blades or other blades pointed toward the grasping
range.

Touching sharp tips or cutting edges can lead to

injuries.

Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on the
application, use a face shield or safety goggles. Wear a
dust mask. Wear hearing protection.

The eye protection

must be capable of protecting against flying particles gen-
erated by the various different operations. The dust mask
or respirator must be capable of filtering particles gener-
ated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause loss of hearing.

Wear protective gloves.

Danger of injury due to sharp-

edged accessories.

Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or signs onto the
power tool.

If the insulation is damaged, protection

against an electric shock will be ineffective. Adhesive
labels are recommended.

Clean the ventilation openings on the power tool at regu-
lar intervals using non-metal tools.

The blower of the

motor draws dust into the housing. An excessive accu-
mulation of metallic dust can cause an electrical hazard.

Use and handling of the battery (battery pack)

To avoid hazardous situations such as burns, fire, explo-
sion, skin injuries, and other injuries when handling the
battery, observe the following instructions:

Batteries must not be disassembled, opened or reduced
in size. Do not subject batteries to mechanical impact or
shock.

Hazardous vapours and fluid can escape in case of

damage and improper use of the battery. The vapours can
irritate the respiratory system. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause skin irritations or burns.

When battery fluid from a damaged battery has come into
contact with objects close by, check the respective com-
ponents, clean them or replace them as required.

Keep the battery away from heat and fire. Do not store the
battery in direct sunlight.

Do not remove the battery from its original packaging
until it is going to be used.
