protection used for appropriate conditions 
will reduce personal injuries. 

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, 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.

4.  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 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 

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
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 

designated 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 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
1) Have your power tool serviced by 

a qualified repair person using only
