3. 

Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the 

switch is in the off-position before connecting 

to power source and/or battery pack, picking 

up or carrying the tool.

 Carrying power tools with 

your finger on the switch or energising power tools 

that have the switch on invites accidents.

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 and clothing 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 

dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

8. 

Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use 

of tools allow you to become complacent and 

ignore tool safety principles.

 A careless action can 

cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

9. 

Always wear protective goggles to protect 

your eyes from injury when using power tools. 

The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in 

the USA, EN 166 in Europe, or AS/NZS 1336 

in Australia/New Zealand. In Australia/New 

Zealand, it is legally required to wear a face 

shield to protect your face, too.

It is an employer's responsibility to enforce 

the use of appropriate safety protective equip-

ments by the tool operators and by other per-

sons in the immediate working area.

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 controlled 

with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

3. 

Disconnect the plug from the power source 

and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 

from the power tool before making any adjust-

ments, changing accessories, 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 and accessories. Check for 

misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-

age 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.

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, 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.

8. 

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 tool in unexpected situations.

9. 

When using the tool, do not wear cloth work gloves 

which may be entangled.

 The entanglement of cloth work 

gloves in the moving parts may result in personal injury.

Battery tool use and care

1. 

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.

2. 

Use power tools only with specifically desig

-

nated battery packs.

 Use of any other battery 

packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

3. 

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.

4. 

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected 

from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci-

dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid con

-

tacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.

 Liquid 

ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

5. 

Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or 

modified.

 Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpre

-

dictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

6. 

Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or 

excessive temperature.

 Exposure to fire or tem

-

perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.

7. 

Follow all charging instructions and do not 

charge the battery pack or tool outside the 

temperature range specified in the instruc

-

tions.

 Charging improperly or at temperatures 

outside the specified range may damage the 

battery and increase the risk of fire.

Service

1. 

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair 

person using only identical replacement parts.

 This 

will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

2. 

Never service damaged battery packs.

 Service 

of battery packs should only be performed by the 

manufacturer or authorized service providers.

3. 

Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-

ing accessories.
