- 5 -
Carrying power tools with your fin-
ger on the switch or plugging in the
power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
) Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
5) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
6) 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.
7) If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce
dust related hazards.
Power Tool Use and Care
1) 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.
2) Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
3) Disconnect the plug from the pow­
er source and/or the battery pack
from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing acces­
sories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the pow-
er tool accidentally.
) Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not al­
low persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
5) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of mov­
ing parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may af­
fect the power tools operation. If
damaged, have the power tool re­
paired before use.
Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
6) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
7) Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particu­
lar 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.
Battery Tool Use and Care
1) Ensure the switch is in the off posi­
tion before inserting battery pack.
Inserting battery pack into pow-
er tools that have the switch on in-
vites accidents.
2) 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.
3) Use power tools only with specif­
ically 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 ob­
jects 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 to-
gether may cause burns, or a fire.
5) Under abusive conditions, liq­
uid may be ejected from 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.
