d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamil-
iar with the power tool or these instruc-
tions to operate the power tool.
Power tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool’s operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before
use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Prop-
erly 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 instruc-
tions, taking into account the working con-
ditions and the work to be performed.
Use
of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situ-
ation.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer.
A charger that is suita-
ble 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 des-
ignated battery packs.
Use of any other bat-
tery 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 con-
nection 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
seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Machine-specific
Safety Warnings
f
Use appropriate detectors to determine if util-
ity lines are hidden in the work area or call the
local utility company for assistance.
Contact
with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock.
Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Pene-
trating a water line causes property damage or may
cause an electric shock.
f
Switch off the power tool immediately when
the tool insert jams. Be prepared for high
reaction torque that can cause kickback.
The
tool insert jams when:
— the power tool is subject to overload or
— it becomes wedged in the workpiece.
f
Hold the machine only by the insulated grip-
ping surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may run into hidden
wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
f
Hold the machine with a firm grip.
High reaction
torque can briefly occur while driving in and loosen-
ing screws.
f
Secure the workpiece.
A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
f
Do not work materials containing asbestos.
Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
f
Take protective measures when dust can
develop during working that is harmful to
one’s health, combustible or explosive.
Exam-
ple: Some dusts are regarded as carcinogenic.
Wear a dust mask and work with dust/chip extrac-
tion when connectable.
f
Keep your workplace clean.
Blends of materials
are particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys
can burn or explode.
f
Always wait until the machine has come to a
complete stop before placing it down.
The tool
insert can jam and lead to loss of control over the
power tool.
f
Before any work on the machine (e. g., main-
tenance, tool change, etc.) as well as during
transport and storage, set the rotational
direction switch to the centre position.
Unin-
tentional actuation of the On/Off switch can lead to
injuries.
f
Avoid unintentional switching on. Ensure the
On/Off switch is in the off position before
inserting battery pack.
Carrying the power tool
with your finger on the On/Off switch or inserting
the battery pack into power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
f
Do not open the battery.
Danger of short-
circuiting.
