   condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. 

   Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tool.

● Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely 

   to bind and are easier to control.

 in accordance with these instructions, takeing 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 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.
