WARNING!
This battery-operated power tool must be
recharged only with the specific charging unit for the battery.
A charging unit that may be suitable for one type of battery
may create a risk of fire when used with another battery type.
• Avoid accidental starting.
• When the tool is not in use, keep it away from other metal
objects.
•
Before operating the tool, read the entire manual carefully
and make sure you know how to switch the tool OFF in an
emergency.
Work Area Safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark
areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
NOTE: The term “residual current device (RCD) ” may
be replaced by the term “ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) ” or “earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) ”.
7. Battery charger is for indoor use only. Only charge this
battery-powered tool indoors.
8. If the battery charger cable is damaged, please call the
