dust-related hazards.

4)  PoWeR tool uSe ANd cARe 

a) 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. 

b) 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.

c)  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. 

d) 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. 

e)  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. 

f)  keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

 

Properly maintained cutting tools with 
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind 
and are easier to control. 

g) 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. 

5) BAtteRy tool uSe ANd cARe

a) 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.

b) Use power tools only with specifically 

designated battery packs.

 Use of any 

other battery packs may create a risk of 
injury and fire.

c)  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.

d) 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.

6) SeRvIce

a) 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.
