e. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or jamming 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.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
g. 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.
h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces 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.
5. Battery tool use and care
a. 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.
b. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and/or fire.
c. 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.
d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, wash off with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
e. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior, resulting in fire, explosion, or risk of injury.
f. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or high temperatures. Exposure to fire or
temperatures above 50°C may cause an explosion.
g. 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.
6. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only original
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b. Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed
by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
