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 
plugging  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 
balance 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 
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. 

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 

conditions 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 
accidents. 

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 
designated  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 accidentally occurs, flush with water. If 
liquid contacts 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. 

29. 

Follow  instruction  for  lubricating  and 
changing accessories. 

30. 

Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and 
grease.
