2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gasses or dust. Power tools create sparks which could ignite dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.

away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Should the power cable be damaged,
replace it immediately to prevent the risk of fire.
2. The battery must only be recharged with the included charger. A charger that may be suitable
for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.

or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of carelessness while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. To reduce the risk of injury, never wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry when operating the tool
and keep your hands away from the moving parts. If you have long hair keep it tied back.

over both feet.

by an unqualified person could result in a risk of injury.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may
result in electric shock or injury.

touching them. They can become extremely hot during use and can burn your skin.
