SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
3.1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the pres-
ence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.

3.2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, ra-
diators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a pow-
er tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or un-
plugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.
Use of a GFCI reduces the
risk of electric shock.

OBS**.: Both battery models are compatible with this equipment.
OBS***.: Battery life can range according to the frequency of applications and the
use of AG-95 electric spreader (accessory sold separately).
OBS*.: The band width depends on the height and angle of the disc (AG-95 Elec-
tric Spreader), as well as on the condition, granulometry and density of the input.
3.3. Personal Safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when oper-
ating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
