Do not use the power tool if the switch does

not turn it on and off. Any power tool that can-

not 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 dan-

gerous in the hands of untrained users.

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 damaged, have

the power tool repaired before use. Many

accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.

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.

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.

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 desig-

nated 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.

SERVICE

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified

repair person using only identical replace-

ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of

the power tool is maintained.

When servicing a power tool, use only iden-

tical replacement parts. 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.
