POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
◾
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.
◾
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.
◾
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.
◾
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.
◾
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect
the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
◾
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
◾
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, 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.
◾
Keep handles and grasping surface dry, clean
and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
◾
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.
◾
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.
◾
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modified.
Damaged or modified batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
◾
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or
temperature above 100 °C may cause explosion.
◾
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions.
Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside the specified
range may damage the battery and increase the risk
of fire.

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
◾

Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorised service providers.
