Personal Safety
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication – A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection – Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before connecting battery pack,
picking up or carrying the tool – Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on – A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times – This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts – Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used – Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power Tool Use and Care
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Disconnect 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean – Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories 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
m
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
1. 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.
2. Use appliances only with specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
3. When the 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.
4. 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.
5. Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of
injury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 104°F(40.5°C) may cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly
or at temperatures outside of the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
8. Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the
battery pack (as applicable) except as indicated in the
instructions for use and care.
Service
