IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
23. A battery operated tool with integral batteries or
a separate battery pack must be recharged only
with the specified charger for the battery. A charger
that may be suitable for one type of battery may
create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
Use battery operated tool only with specifically
designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries
may create risk of fire.
24. 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.
25. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acciden-
tally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation or burns.
26. Prevent accidental starting. Ensure 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.
27. 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.
28. 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. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts
or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may
create a risk of shock or injury.
29. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments or changing accessories. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of start-
ing the power tool accidentally.
30. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool’s op-
eration. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
31. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
32. 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.
33. Store idle equipment. When not in use, tools must
be stored in a dry location to inhibit rust. Always
lock up tools and keep out of reach of children and
other untrained persons. Switch off all unused elec-
trical tools when stored. Disconnect battery from
unit. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
