SAFETY
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.
• 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 power tool and accessories 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.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Battery Tool Use and Care
• Recharge only with ECHO eFORCE™ 56V battery series chargers.
A charger that is suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery.
