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. 

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure 

the switch is in the off-position before 

connecting to power source and/or 

battery pack, picking up or carrying 

the tool.

 Carrying power tools with your 

finger on the switch or energizing power 
tools that have the switch on invites 
accidents. 

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench 

before turning the power tool on. 

wrench or a key left attached to a rotating 
part of the power tool may result in 
personal injury. 

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper 

footing and balance at all times. 

This 

enables better control of the power tool in 
unexpected situations. 

f)  Dress properly. Do not wear loose 

clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, 

clothing and gloves away from 

moving parts. 

Loose clothes, jewelry or 

long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g)  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.

4) Power tool use and care 

a) 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. 

b) 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.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power 

source and/or 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.

d) 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.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for 

misalignment or binding of moving 

parts, breakage of parts and any 

other 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 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 and in the manner 

intended for the particular type of 

power tool, 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
