Original Instructions

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, 

additionally seek 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 may cause explosion.

 

Follow all charging instructions and do not charge 

the battery pack or tool outside the temperature 

range specified in the instructions. 

Charging 

improperly or at temperatures outside the specified 

range may damage the battery and increase the risk of 

fire.

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.

 

Never service damaged battery packs.

 Service 

of battery packs should only be performed by the 

manufacturer or authorised service providers.
