Caution
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow all warnings and
instructions may result in electrical shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Note: Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. Due to our ongoing R&D&I program,
the specifications in this document are subject to change without notice.
1) Work area safety
a. Keep the work area clean and well lit to prevent accidents.
b. Do not use power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases, or dust that can cause fires.
c. Keep children and other unauthorized persons away while using a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control of the tool.
2) Electrical safety
a. The plugs of the chargers must match the outlet. Never modify the plug
in any way. Using a suitable plug reduces the risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid bodily contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electrical shock.
d. Never use the cable to carry, pull or unplug the charger. Keep the cable
away from heat or oil.
3) Personal security
a. Always stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when using the tool.
b. Do not use a power tool if you are tired or under the influence of
medication or other substances.
c. Wear personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used in the proper conditions will reduce
personal injury. Also don't wear loose clothing or jewelry.
d. Prevent the tool from turning on unintentionally. Make sure the switch is
in the off position before connecting the battery and moving it.
4) Use and care of the battery tool
a. Recharge the battery only with the charger specified by the manufacturer.
An unsuitable charger can create a fire hazard.
b. Use power tools only with specifically designated batteries. Use of other
batteries may create a risk of injury or fire.
c. When the batteries are not in use, keep it away from other metal objects,
such as 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 can cause burns or fire.
d. Abusive conditions can cause expulsion of liquid from the battery; avoid
contact. If accidentally contacted, rinse immediately with water. If the
