Personal Safety

1. 

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common 

sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a 

power tool while you are tired or under the influence 

of drugs, alcohol or medication 

– A moment of 

inattention while operating power tools may result in 

serious personal injury.

2. 

Use personal protective equipment. Always wear 

eye protection – Protective equipment such as dust 

mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing 

protection used for appropriate conditions will  

reduce personal injuries.

3. 

Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is 

in the off-position before connecting 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, clothing and gloves 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. 

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 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.

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. 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.

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 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.

Battery Tool Use and Care

m

WARNING!

 Read all safety warnings and instructions. 

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in 

electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

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 appliances only with specifically designated battery 

packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of 

injury and fire.

3.  When the 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 accidentally occurs, 

flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek 

medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause 

irritation or burns. 

5.  Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged 

or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit 

unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of 

injury.

6. 

Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or 

excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature 

above 104°F(40.5°C) may cause explosion. 

7.  Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the 

battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature 

range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly 

or at temperatures outside of the specified range may 

damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

8.  Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the 

battery pack (as applicable) except as indicated in the 

instructions for use and care.

Service

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.
