When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both hands and provide
for a secure stance. The power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are particularly dangerous. Dust from light
alloys can burn or explode.
Always wait until the machine has come to a complete stop before placing it down.
Before any work on the machine (e. g., maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as
during transport and storage, set the rotational direction switch to the centre
position. Unintentional actuation of the On/Off switch can lead to injuries.
Avoid unintentional switching on. Ensure the On/Off switch is in the off position
before inserting battery pack. Carrying the power tool with your finger on the On/Off
switch or inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Do not open the battery. Danger of short circuiting.
Protect the power tool against heat, e. g., also against continuous sun irradiation
and fire. There is danger of explosion.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapors may be emitted. Provide
for fresh air and seek medical help in case of complaints. The vapors can irritate the
respiratory system.
When the battery is defective, liquid can escape and come into contact with adjacent
components.Check any parts concerned. Clean such parts or replace them, if required.
Power Extension Cords
When using any extension cord the machine will suffer a power reduction due to the drop in
voltage caused by the length of the cord. This can be partially offset by selecting extension
cords with lower gauge wire.
Check all extension cords for damage before use.
Avoid sharp objects.
Do not position the cord where it could be subject to traffic passing over it.
