Power tool use and care

1. 

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.

2. 

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.

3. 

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 pre-

ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting 

the power tool accidentally.

4. 

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.

5. 

Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment 

or 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.

6. 

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

 Properly 

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges 

are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

7. 

Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits 

etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-

ing 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

1. 

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.

2. 

Use power tools only with specifically desig

-

nated battery packs.

 Use of any other battery 

packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

3. 

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 termi-

nals together may cause burns or a fire.

4. 

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be 

ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-

tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If 

liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical 

help.

 Liquid ejected from the battery may cause 

irritation or burns.

Service

1. 

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.

2. 

Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-

ing accessories.

3. 

Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and 

grease.
