b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropri-
ate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a ro-
tating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Press properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
ellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of these devices can
reduce dust related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or stor-
ing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tools operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,
in accordance with these instructions and in the man-
ner intended for the particular type of power tool, 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
a) Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting
battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
b) 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.
c) Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-
tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
d) 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 con-
nection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Additional safety instructions for rotary lasers
• This laser complies with class 2 according to EN 60825-
1:1994+A11. Do not replace a laser diode with a different
type. If damaged, have the laser repaired by an author-
ised repair agent.
• Do not use the laser for any purpose other than
projecting laser lines. An exposure of the eye to the
beam of a class 2 laser is considered safe for
a maximum of 0.25 seconds. Eyelid reflexes will
normally provide adequate protection. At distances over
1 m, the laser complies with class 1 and thus is
considered completely safe.
• Never look into the laser beam directly and intentionally.
• Do not use optical tools to view the laser beam.
• Do not set up the tool at a position where the laser
beam can cross any person at head height.
• Do not let children come in contact with the laser.
Additional safety instructions for battery packs
Fire hazard! Avoid metal short circuiting the
contacts of a detached battery pack. Do not store
or carry the battery pack without the battery cap
placed over the contacts.
• The battery fluid, a 25-30% solution of potassium
hydroxide, can be harmful. In case of skin contact,
flush immediately with water. Neutralize with a mild acid
such as lemon juice or vinegar. In case of eye contact,
rinse abundantly with clean water for at least 10
minutes. Consult a physician.
• Never attempt to open a battery pack for any reason.
