GENERAL SAfETy RULES

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves 

away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• 

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.

• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair 

can be drawn into air vents.

• 

Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better 

control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

• 

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.

• 

Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot 

be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• 

Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before 

making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive 

safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

• 

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.

• 

Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts 

and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the 

power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

• 

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges 

are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

• 

Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and 

in the manner intended for the particular 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

• 

Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack 

into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

• 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.

• 

Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery 

packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

• 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.

• 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.
