e) 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 main-
tained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean.
Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less
Iikely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking
into account the working condi-
tions and the work to be per-
formed.
Use of the power tool for op-
erations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
h)
Hold the device by the insu-
lated gripping surfaces when
performing work in which the
cutting tool may come into con-
tact with hidden wiring or its
own cord.
Contact with a live wire
can also cause a charge in metal parts
of the device and result in an electric
shock.
5) CAREFUL HANDLING AND USE
OF BATTERY DEVICES
a) Charge the batteries only in
chargers that are recommended
by the manufacturer.
Risk of fire if a
charger that is suitable for a specific type
of battery is used with other batteries.
b) In the power tools, use only the
batteries designed for the pur-
pose.
The use of other batteries may
result in injuries and risk of fire.
c) Keep the unused battery away
from paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws and other small
metal objects, which could cause
bridging of the contacts.
A short
circuit between the battery contacts
may cause burns or fire.
d) If used incorrectly, liquid may
leak from the battery. Avoid
contact with this. In the event
of accidental contact, rinse off
with water. If the liquid gets into
eyes, seek medical assistance.
Leaking battery fluid may cause skin ir
-
ritations or burns.
6) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced
by a qualified repair person us
-
ing only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety
of the power tool is maintained.
7) SPECIAL SAFETY DIRECTIONS FOR
BATTERY-OPERATED TOOLS
a) Do not subject the battery to
strong sunlight over long pe-
riods and do not leave it on a
heater.
Heat damages the battery and
there is a risk of explosion.
b) Allow a hot battery to cool be-
fore charging.
c) Do not open up the battery and
avoid mechanical damage to
the battery.
Risk of short circuit and
fumes may be emitted that irritate the
respiratory tract. Ensure fresh air and
seek medical assistance in the event of
discomfort.
