power tool repaired before use. 

Many accidents 

are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) 

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

 Properly 

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges 

are less likely 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 conditions and 

the work to be performed.

 Use of the power tool 

for operations different from those intended could 

result in a hazardous situation.

5)  BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

a) 

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.

b) 

Use power tools only with specifically 

designated battery packs.

 Use of any other 

battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

c) 

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.

d) 

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.

6)  SERVICE

a) 

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.
