Before Operation
1. Check the tool, the battery as well as accessories for
damage before each use. Do not use the tool if it is
damaged or shows wear.
2. Double check that the accessories and attachments are
properly fixed.
3. Always hold the tool by its handle and soft grip. Keep the
handles dry to ensure safe support.
4. Ensure that the air vents are always unobstructed and
clear. Clean them if necessary with a soft brush. Blocked
air vents may lead to overheating and damage the tool.
