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 remove the battery pack,
if detachable, 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 and accessories. 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.
•
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in
unexpected situations.
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, seek additional
medical help
. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
•
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified
. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
•
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature
. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130°C (265°F) may cause an explosion.
