AD 0213 - F/N 558936
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.
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
