11. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before plugging in.
Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or plug-
ging in power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
12. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
14. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
15. 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.
Power tool use and care
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
19. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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.
20. 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.
21. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
22. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions and in
the manner intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the working con-
ditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Battery tool use and care
23. 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 acci-
dents.
24. 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.
25. Use power tools only with specifically desig-
nated battery packs.
Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
26. 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.
27. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery, avoid contact. If contact acci-
dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid con-
tacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
Service
28. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.

rules. If you use this power tool unsafely
or incorrectly, you can suffer serious per-
sonal injury.
1.
Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

Be sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
3.
Hold the tool firmly.
