Power tool use and care 

 

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. 

 

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. 

 

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. 
 

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. 
 

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. 

 

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, accessories and tool bits 
etc. 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. 
 

Wear ear protectors with impact drills.

 

Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss. 

 

 
 

 

Hold power tools by insulated gripping 
surfaces when performing an operation 
where the cutting tool may contact hidden 
wiring or its own cord. 

Contact with a "live" 

wire will make the exposed metal parts of the 
tool "live" and shock the operator. 

 
Battery tool use and care 
 
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. 

 

Use power tools only with specifically 
designated battery packs. 

Use of any other 

battery packs may create a risk of injury and 
fire. 

 

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. 
 

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 

 

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.
