4. PERSONAL SAFETY
4.1
WARNING ‐ This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children
without supervision.
4.2
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
4.3
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
4.4
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Variable Speed Power Trigger is in the locked or off position before
inserting the Battery. Carrying tools with your finger on the Variable Speed Power Trigger or inserting the
Battery into a tool with the Variable Speed Power Trigger on invites accidents.
4.5
Remove any adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
4.6
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
4.7
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non‐skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
5. TOOL USE AND CARE
5.1
Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
5.2
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
5.3
Do not use tool if the Variable Speed Power Trigger does not turn it on or off. A tool that cannot be controlled
with the Variable Speed Power Trigger is dangerous and must be repaired.
5.4
Disconnect Battery from tool or place the Variable Speed Power Trigger in the locked or off position before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventative safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
5.5
Store idle tools out of the reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
5.6
When Battery is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clip, 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 sparks, burns, or a fire.
5.7
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting
edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
5.8
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect
the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
5.9
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used for another tool.
