■ To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, do not store outside or in vehicles.
Store idle cordless power tools out of children
■ Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
cordless power tool or these instructions to
operate the tool. Cordless power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
■ Maintain tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
■ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
■ Use the cordless 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 tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
■ Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer and listed in the Parts
List of this manual. A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk
of fire when used with another battery pack.
■ Use cordless power tools only with
specifically designated battery packs. Use of
any battery packs may create a risk of injury
and fire.
■ 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.
■ Batteries can explode in the presence of
a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To
reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
never use any cordless product in the
presence of open flame. An exploded battery
can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed,
flush with water immediately.
■ Do not crush, drop or damage the battery
pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger
that has been dropped or received a sharp
blow.
■ Do not open or mutilate the batteries.
Released electrolyte is corrosive and may
cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be
toxic if swallowed.
■ Under extreme usage or temperature
conditions, battery leakage may occur;
liquid may be ejected from the battery: avoid
contact. If liquid comes in contact with your
skin, wash immediately with soap and water,
then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar.
If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with
clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek
immediate medical attention. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of serious personal
injury.
■ Do not dispose of battery packs in fire.
They will explode or leak and cause injury.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
■ Have your tool serviced by a qualified
service centre using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
